Is it possible to e-mail a Read-only Self-destructing document?

You could send a link to a website with the text which can't be selected for copying and some code to delete the page after it has been viewed.
Doesn't stop them from screenshotting it though.
 
So general upshot is no!

Annoying.

There is nothing dodgy or illegal here. More of a confidentiality issue.

There are plenty of legitimate circumstances (Archives are a common one) where people are permitted to look at, and even take notes from, but not create a direct hard copy of, documents.

This is one of those cases.

Failing this, it will have to be done in person which will be far more awkward for various reasons...

Ho Hummn.
 
You could probably create a video of the text with different parts missing on each frame so that it's readable to the human eye but if you take a still photo you wouldn't get all the information. Probably more awkward than just showing it in person though.

Cunning plan, but foiled by a simple video recording on a phone.

I like this! Nice idea
Though lots of phone cameras now take a short video whilst taking a photo so that may ruin it a touch. But still harder than a straight photo.
 
Scientific journals have pain in the arse access software all the time. It can be done, just can’t think how you’d get around the camera phone issue.

You could just go round in person and deliver the document (...or flash your bits).
 
assume 100% of any data sent electronically that's not encrypted will become public,

assume 20% of all encrypted data will become public

I read a quote recently, it went something like:

Never say anything you don't want read in court

:p
 
I developed a system at work for distributing confidential customer data securely that tracked and removed files automatically...People still made hard copies and shared them because it was "annoying to log in".

People will always be the weak link, even with some of Microsoft enterprise solutions where you can keep files within the network, someone will ruin it.

Are we talking security classification here or what

Just label it appropriately and anyone in breach gets dealt with via the appropriate avenue
