That can be problematic. Didn’t Soviets did the same thing?

If someone is preying on you, then he can destroy it before the recipient gets it. Sounds familiar?

That is possible if a hacker read the mail BEFORE an actual recipient get it; otherwise, in old Soviet way, everything was being read back then.

Destroy the mail.. you mean email. not mail. Watch the difference, be careful which words you choose.

When I wrote the piece I said in the first paragraph EMAIL! I truly hope no one thinks I am talking about hard copy mail you receive in your post office box.

Yeah these have been around for awhile. I know of four or five similar services. While the http(s) is not stored at the server-level once transferred (’read’ by recipient,) and deleted at the host Server, one CAN still take a screenshot of the page and actually have proof of the content if not the routing information. Not qualified as proof as it can be fabricated.

Interesting and I should test this, that the only way you can READ or SEE anything on your computer, it must reside IN your computer in the form of a file in your TEMP folder.

This issue comes up in web developer forums often with images. People wishing to have their images ‘viewed’ online, but not have the ability to download them. -Can’t be done.

-Efforts to prevent include installing a javascript to stop left-hand click & save, placing a transparent *GIF over the image (thus, any right-hand click-&-save lifts ONLY the transparent image, not the image beneath it, etc.) and more.

There are even some Server-side aids that claim to be able to prevent lifting of images AND content… I have my doubts about their efficacy. Too bad… if Triond would install even a left-hand click-drag-&-copy, it would STOP a LOT of the content theft that goes on here. Chinese blogger sites, Associated Content users’ etc. have all ’stolen’ content from Triond this way. Removing even the ability to ‘left-click/copy’ would prevent probably HALF of the kiddies from stealing easy content. Anyone with a bit of knowledge on where to look in their computer would find the content anyway, are probably smart enough to know to not use it.

“…and it has been lost in cyber space never to be seen again.”

A dubious claim by the site. Nothing is ever ‘lost.’ Many a politician’s career has been destroyed because of e-mails allegedly ‘destroyed’ yet are ‘mirrored’ somewhere. Most ISPs save everything for a minimum of 6-months, some have made it clear they save it …forever. They just move it into archive. Sure, YOU can never read it again, but the Gov’t could if they sought to if needed in connection with some action. :-\

i will try this tonight.

This has been around for certain periods. I heard of this too, but not quite certain on its existence. Liked it.

I never knew anything about this,although I can see where this would useful.

This is new to me.

It reminds me of Mission Impossible..This message will self destruct in 5 seconds.

I think I will keep this information…you never know when it can come in handy.

That’s pretty cool info!

I saw you on the hot content list today with this article, congrats! Very useful info, thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for this useful information. I have not heard of this so I am glad you gave us the information.

I’ve never heard of anything close to this; but in certain situation it could serve to be quite useful. Interesting post, Linda!

Great information.

Excellent post, unique,only to quote to this: “After the war they are all general”.
