Looks like a bad idea: "Self-Destructing Gmail Possible With Free Chrome 
Extension"

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/destructing-gmail-free-chrome-extension/story?id=32667353

        A new Chrome extension called Dmail brings its
        self-destructing super powers to a user's Gmail inbox, allowing
        users to take control of the messages they send even long after
        they've been fired off to the recipient ... Messages sent to a
        friend who has Dmail appear in their inbox as normal. The
        extension still works if a friend doesn't have the service.
        They'll instead be given a Dmail link in the email which will
        take them to the secure message.

The potential for confusion or abuse with this extension strikes me as
being quite high. Because of the manner in which it may confuse Gmail
users who are recipients of messages through "Dmail" who have not chosen
to install the Dmail extension, it seems possible that this extension
violates the Gmail and/or Chrome Terms of Service.
