I do understand why a "this message will self destruct" feature is
desirable, but I just can't bring myself to try and implement one.
In short, do you want a remote mobile phone to be able to send a message
to your mobile phone that it should delete an entry in your secure and
encrypted local database?
I suppose if you have a verified OTR connection, it does mean you trust
the person you are communicating with, but otherwise, this sounds like
DRM and/or a backdoor to me.
