Comment on Pluto Mail – Unsend Emails

Comments

Worth bearing in mind that this is effectively DRM for email, with all the negative connotations that DRM brings.

It's already bad enough that people put dropbox links in their e-mails, negating the value of long-term e-mail archiving.

It's extremely useful to be able to go back in time and have full conversation history, including associated resources.

While I agree with this, I find it equally annoying when people send 3MB attachments as emails (and then keep resending them for every email in the conversation!).

It would be nice if a Dropbox link included a hash of the file, functioning more as a magnet link than a URL (emphasis on the "L - Locator" in "URL").

While I agree with this, I find it equally annoying when people send 3MB attachments as emails (and then keep resending them for every email in the conversation!).

Why? I don't think I've deleted a non-spam e-mail since ~2001; e-mail-scale storage is cheap.
