Scope for self-destructing email?

[vaibhav singh <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

As some of you may already know, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR),
about to be enforced in the EU within months, and calls for strict
regulations for Right to rectify communications, Right to be forgotten ,
Pseudonymisation and Data portability.

With regards to this, me and my friends were thinking about the idea of a
self-destructing email, wherein the sender will mark the mail to be
destroyed (expunged from the server) once the receiver(s) have finished
reading it/after a time period chosen by the sender.

Another enhancement to this idea was a notification which will be sent from
some (Exploding email RFC) compliant MUA, in case the receiver refuses to
delete the email from the client. (I know Snapchat is a poor example here,
but they apparently send notifications to the originator of the snap in
case any receiver tries to capture the screenshot of the snap. This is, in
theory, what we are trying to do here).

I would also like to know about things (working groups, internet drafts
etc) which are being done to enforce GDPR to
email and Instant Messaging especially.
