In some cases the actual message-id cannot be inferred, for example when a Propagation Node is storing an encrypted message for an offline user. In theses cases a _transient-id_ is used to identify the message while in storage or transit.
2. __Destination__, __Source__, __Signature__ and __Payload__ parts are mandatory, as is the __Timestamp__ part of the payload.
- The __Destination__ and __Source__ fields are 10-byte Reticulum destination hashes
- The __Destination__ and __Source__ fields are 16-byte Reticulum destination hashes
- The __Signature__ field is a 64-byte Ed25519 signature of the __Destination__, __Source__, __Payload__ and __message-id__
- The __Payload__ part is a [msgpacked](https://msgpack.org) list containing four items:
1. The __Timestamp__ is a double-precision floating point number representing the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch.

The complete message overhead for LXMF is only 99 bytes, which in return gives you timestamped, digitally signed, infinitely extensible, end-to-end encrypted, zero-conf routed, minimal-infrastructure messaging that's easy to use and build applications with.
