LuxSci has improved the look and feel of the SecureLine Escrow and SecureSend portals.  In the process, the maximum message size that can be sent from these portals has been raised from 20 Megabytes to 50 Megabytes (raw size) and the maximum number of attachments on one of these secure messages has been raised from 3 to 20 files.

The SecureSend portal allows anyone with an email address to send secure email messages to any LuxSci SecureLine user for free.  The SecureLine Escrow portal is where recipients who do not have PGP or S/MIME capability go to pick up secure email messages sent to them from LuxSci SecureLine users.
