Is this really needed?

It really inconveniences the recipient. They cannot copy and paste the email. This can sometimes be important. Often private emails contain usernames, passwords or urls.

You cannot view emails on multiple computers without first yourself going out of the way to register multiple devices..

There are many scenarios where forwarding the email is important. You may want your solicitor to look at it whatever.

It seems to me the best use of this service is just to send people some hate mail as it makes it difficult for laymen computer user to forward it to someone who can do something about it.

Email isn't a secure platform, if you don't want what you write getting out there don't send it, use another medium, avoid sending emails to untrusted people.

Making the email an image means I probably won't read it.. I guess that is one way to stop me from forwarding it.

The idea is that you don't use this for all of your emails, just the ones that you don't want forwarded.
