Will this be a lock in feature that makes it harder for people using external mail clients?

Won't it simply fallback to regular email view on external clients, like outlook's "recall email" function?

The reasonable implementation would be to not send anything more than a link to a site where the receiver can view the content.

Which is exactly what this does... and now I can't search my email for relevant information anymore.

This is a step back.
