HCL Domino Ideas Portal

Welcome to the #dominoforever Product Ideas Forum! The place where you can submit product ideas and enhancement request. We encourage you to participate by voting on, commenting on, and creating new ideas. All new ideas will be evaluated by HCL Product Management & Engineering teams, and the next steps will be communicated. While not all submitted ideas will be executed upon, community feedback will play a key role in influencing which ideas are and when they will be implemented.

This tape will self destruct in 5 seconds....

We send users regular emails with PDF attachments many times per day. (By sending as attachments, users can easily see the info using Verse on mobile devices). These emails are snapshots of business information, the emails do not need to be kept.

But users never bother deleting emails, so mailfiles and archives fill up with junk and we keep allocating more disk space on our servers!

Your mission Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to create the facility to send emails that auto delete themselves after a period of time/ days (......5 seconds is perhaps just a little too short).
