Body: <p>If you have a mailing group with child sub groups, when you offer an "opt out from this list" option, all child groups are displayed - including ones that the recipient  isn't a member of

  <pre><code>             Main mailing group

  If you have a mailing group with child sub groups, when you offer an "opt out from this list" option, all child groups are displayed - including ones that the recipient isn't a member of
  eg
  a parent mailing group made up of 2 child groups
  
  ```
               Main mailing group
  
    Child group 1 - parent = Main mailing group
  
    Child group 2-  parent = Main mailing group
  
  ```
  
  If contact A is a member of child group 1 and she opts out of a mailing to Main mailing group she is shown both child group 1 and child group 2
  
  Is there a way to limit which groups are shown?
