Just wanted to point out that Gmail has a Confidential Mode that can prevent forwarding, auto-deletes and allows the sender to control access to a sent email including removing access. https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7674059?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7674059?co=GENIE.Plat... Understood that Signal has other useful security properties but this is useful for folks that use email. Disclaimer: I work at Google.

(Sorry I saw this a few days late.) I think it's very misleading to call this "confidential mode for email". It's just putting the message on a webpage and sending the person a link to authorize access to the page, right? (And maybe messing with the gmail interface to hide that this is happening.) It's a really different concept altogether than email. If I understand right, it's basically like creating a google doc and sharing it with only certain recipients (and ability to revoke later).
