Email that self-destructs when forwarded

In plain words

This tool lets users send emails that automatically delete themselves when someone tries to forward them. Launched in 2012, it's designed for anyone who wants to share sensitive or temporary information via email while preventing it from being passed along to others. The service adds a layer of control over message distribution by making forwarding impossible.
