Sorry, but I must disagree with you on this point. The sender 
trusts
the content to the receiver. You cannot then force the receiver to 
not
save the clear-text. You can only ask him, but if you force him to 
use
his system in a certain way that encroaches on his privacy.

Except when the receiver/employee/contractor needs to comply with
a sender/superior's directives, you cannot force him to use his
machine one way or the other.

Why couldn't the receiver, e.g. save the clear-text on a scramdisk?
Perhaps the receiver is reading his mail behind a firewall, offline
alone in a bunker? I would not want to use Mahogany as a recipient
if I were unable to turn the tempest-like viewer off or save the 
clear
text to a place which IMO is safe.

Best regards,
