    Thanks for that thought.
    I hadn't laughed that loud in a long time. :)

    Windows won’t take screenshots of everything you do after all — unless you opt in

    New Microsoft ads (in July) tout unavailable Recall feature
    Copilot+ PCs have launched without Recall, but the ads don't say so.

    E-mail is probably not the best example because if they are infected then adversary can probably access that message. That e-mail will be on both e-mail accounts usually (sender, receiver) and local database of e-mail client if they don't use webmail or use both.
    The only time when this won't be the case is when they have a habit of deleting all e-mail they have read, but it is rare. Or have some kind of expiration policy set which is also rare.

    Actually due to e-mail design it is considered as 'durable medium' in a legal sense in many jurisrictions.

    This is in oposite to ephemeral communication like WhatsApp and Signal View-once Media

    TL;DR: don't use e-mail for information that you wish nobody will store forever

    Microsoft Recall screenshots credit cards and Social Security numbers, even with the "sensitive information" filter enabled

    Cue in Benny Hill music and a frantic user trying to cover their monitor with a towel.

    Microsoft’s Recall AI is creepy, clever, and compelling

    It does sound like something that I need, it's very frustrating if you can't find certain pictures, videos or PDF's. But I would also rather use the new Windows Search which won't be making use of screenshots.
