From Chris Jack
I can think of several ways for the recipient to store the contents of a
1on1mail e-mail that is meant to self-destruct to prevent it being used as
evidence against the sender
(28 August, p 6).
One idea is simply to take a screen snapshot of the e-mail, using the “Print
Screen” button on a PC or Command-Shift-3 on a Mac. If this has been disabled,
there are other screen snapshot utilities that may still work. As a last resort,
for e-mails “you just can’t afford to lose”, you could photograph the screen. So
where do I collect my $50 000, then?
