Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

I agree it's not possible with an uncooperative/adversarial recipient, but it's very possible that the recipient is cooperative, but too passive to reliably follow an instruction like "delete after reading".
It may be reasonable to use technical means to protect certain messages against the possibility that the recipient's computer or mail provider will be stolen or compromised in the future. Email isn't a great tool for this.
