Did you read the article? That's not what they're doing. They're replacing the contents with a link that eventually stops working. Nothing is being changed in the recipient's e-mail interface.
- warkdarrior 9y agoDid you read the OP's post? They're replacing the contents with a link that eventually stops working for you. Nothing is being changed in Google's backend, so the original message can be preserved for as long as they desire.
- daveFNbuck 9y agoThe e-mail does not get hidden. The recipient can still see the e-mail after the expiration time. The backend has been changed, as this link feature would require a new backend. The headline "Google is allowing you to hide emails from its public interface after a specific amount of time" implies that this is just a change to an existing interface and would only work for recipients who use gmail.
