Rendering text as a hosted bitmap that can be viewed only once. Cute. But what is this for?

  Sending pointless emails?

  One word: Discovery As in, "Whenever we are sued, we have to undergo Discovery, and they find all those email we really wish had never seen the light of day..."

    As in, "Dog ate my homework"? That should work with feds, no problem.

      "Not only did we not know that we were required to retain these emails, we went out of our way to ensure they /couldn't/ be retained. Whelp, oh well!"

    If, as a public corporation, you were to do that you'd end up being sued anyway. Sarbanes-Oxley not only requires e-mail retention, but the SEC can impose significant fines if e-mails end up 'disappearing'. To put it another way: if you turned around during discovery and told the other party you'd deliberately used a system that caused all your e-mails to self-destruct you could expect to be destroyed in court.

      EDS had a 20 Megabyte Email quota in 2002/2003 in order to "conserve resources" - basically meant there was a 30-45 day window before you had to start deleting email.

  It still doenst solve the problem: many email clients cache images that are downloaded...
