That’s encryption in a nutshell. A message is encrypted until it reaches its destination, and then by necessity is unencrypted in order to read it. Once your recipient has the unencrypted message, you don’t have any control over what happens to it.
Fundamentally, if you don’t trust the recipient (or their system provider), no amount of encryption will protect your message.
