"In the compose screen, there’s a tiny lock icon called “confidential mode”. It says that the recipient won’t be able to forward email content, copy and paste, download or print the email."

I can see how they could prevent this happening for the average user, but do they really have some way actually stop this?

I mean .. nothing stops you from taking a picture of your screen

The way I see it, it could be useful for internal emails you don't want inadvertently shared with the outside.

Hopefully no service will go so far as to blank the screen when a lens is detected by the webcam...
