I wish it was possible emails sent are erased from the recipient's email client. I want to own the parts of the email conversation that I wrote.
The reason to want this is to not leave an electronic trail of everything you say. Chat clients, which communicate synchronously, can already do this. Is it impossible to do asynchronously with email?
One problem is people might want to archive what you write, which would defeat the purpose of OTR. This isn't something a messaging protocol can solve. Once text shows up on a screen, you can copy the text. But I can imagine people archiving rarely in practice, if only because you'd have to do something manually, which would make keeping an electronic record the exception and not the rule.
