Nice service!
Here is a feature that must be cheap to add:
The sender of the note should be able to mark it so it can't be copied
(just a check box and a little coing on your part).

Thanks for your msage Mogens,

I must say that, even though we could add that check box, we couldn't
avoid the note to be copied since the receiver can take a screen
capture or something like that. So that check box wouldn't provide any
real additional value, wouldn't it ?. What do you think?

Unfortunately there is no way to copy proof a screen with ANY
technology. A message recipient can always store an unencrypted
version.
You can prevent newbies from using copy in the browswer, with a java
script, but any experienced user will know th somply turn-off java
support in the browser to get around it.
You can convert text to an image, but they can take a screen capture
to save the image.
There's simply no way to prevent it.

Sorry, should have read:

Hi Lance

Two minutes after I wrote the mail I realized that it of course could be
copied by screencapture-program. But thanks for your swift answer anyhow.

Best regards

Hi Pablo

You're quite right of course as I just wrote to Lance Haverkamp - let's give
it up!

Hello
As it was said people can take screen capture.
But adding a feature for not to copy text would reduce the copy risk
by about 25%
