There's any way to 'auto-destroy' na email sent after N days? I'd like to send an email to someone and after N days the email became unreadeble. Is that possible? I thougth about a certificate that expires. Will that work? Does something like that exists?
With usual email this is impossible unless the recipient wants to follow your rules: If he is going to comply with your instructions you can simply write `do not read after yyyy-mm-dd.' This can be automated by his mail client, a web-based email system, or even a PDA. Unfortunately, if the recipient does not want to comply, he can simply copy/paste your message or (if the system does not allow this) take a screen-shot. -- Regards, ASK
