This feature seems pointless, there's good old screenshot, or copy paste, and what about those people who use an email client? I bet mutt will bounce/forward the email regardless of the "privacy features" placed on the mail in the web interface. -
harmlessgryphon (harmlessgryphon@sealion.club)'s status on Wednesday, 18-Apr-2018 11:31:14 UTC harmlessgryphon @lohang They want to implement self-destructing emails. If they do the "click this link to view this email," I was thinking about writing a script that downloads mail, scans it for certain verbiage, then if found sends an immediate reply saying this user does not accept emails using this type of system.
I'd use words like "obfusticated" but your average idiot wouldn't understand that. -
