Create Self-Destructing Emails With Bigstring

Ever send an email to someone and wish you could take it back? Perhaps it was to the wrong person, maybe it contained incorrect information, or maybe you were a little angry when you wrote it. With Bigstring, you can call it back or even cause it to self-destruct.

You have a few choices available when it comes to how you want something to be destroyed. You could set it to expire at a certain time, or after how many times the message has been viewed by the recipient.

Making the message hard to print is even possible, although I can’t lay claim to how reliable that is. A workaround that comes to mind is that someone could easily take a screenshot of the message and then print it, but maybe the recipient isn’t aware of that possibility.

How does Bigstring do it?
It converts your message into an image. So if you change your message, the image is retrieved from their server the next time it’s called up to display. When you delete a message, the image is removed, thus the email “shell” remains in the recipients inbox, but the message is no longer visible.

How much does it cost?
Well, even the free basic account has great features everyone would want to use: 2GB of storage, video emails, email tracking, non-forwardable/IP locking email, and lots more. If you want to pay, you’ll get all that and increased storage and a few other bells and whistles.
