Expire date on an email

Kyle

Is there method to set an expire date on an email. After 2
days, I like the email (include attachemnt) automatically
delete from the recipient's inbox if it is still there.

Thanks.

In the options of the message you can set an expire date. It won't
automatically delete but it will be striked through after this date.

In the _recipient's_ mailbox, like the OP asked?

I don't see such setting as you mention. Don't mind point
out where to click on to do that.

Oops, every now and then some posts slip from my attention (being away for
the weekend doesn't help either)

On the Toolbar when composing a message you'll see an Options button. When
you press it you get a new window where you can set lots of options for a
message including the Expire date

Well that is in the recipients mailbox. Of course you need to set the expire
date *before* you send the message just like you do when setting an
importance level.
