Still could take a screenshot once it is being displayed. Or change the clock on the computer viewing the email.
No solution will prevent people taking screenshots
There are solutions, just requires that the software has control of the hardware. But there's always the possibility to take a picture of the screen with a second device. But, yeah, there's basically no solution that prevents all possibility of a message totally disappearing without controlling all aspects of the display device and the environment it's used in. That's why things like certification exams that need to prevent information from leaking are always in fairly controlled environments, for example.
