> It says that the recipient won’t be able to forward email content, copy and paste, download or print the email. DRM for email? that worked so great for the media industry... No thanks.
Seems like people will figure out the screenshot approach pretty quickly here.

Encryption doesn't work unless both sides use it. Apple supporting it won't help apple users one bit, because nobody else uses an actual application to check mails anymore. It's mostly web mail clients everywhere, and they obviously can't use encryption.
iMessage?

I feel like client-side email encryption is a missed opportunity for Apple. Easy encrypted email would fit nicely into their narrative of “we can offer privacy features that Google can’t, because we sell you stuff”

A few more privacy scandals break, and if Apple had an end-to-end encryption story that sounds roughly like: “If you’re using Apple products and services, you probably don’t need to think too much about the techy parts.” I could easily see Apple cementing their position for anyone even remotely concerned about privacy.
Apple the computer company. Apple the media company. Apple the smartphone conpany. Apple the consumer privacy and protection company? I could see it.
No. No. No. Google, please don't mess with email standards.

Useful client side encryption is hard. If the user doesn't understand what they are doing feel like they have security when in reality any script kiddie can break their encryption.
I'm still puzzled by this one. Anyone?
Wouldn't self destructing emails only work if both sides use Gmail?
No, the article covers this. The recipient receives a link instead to the content.
As a matter of principle, I should retrieve the email via IMAP and later, while reading it offline, compose a short reply, "you forgot to attach a real message, please try again."
