`!LXMF`! (Lightweight Extensible Message Format) is a simple and flexible messaging format and delivery protocol for `F0af`_`[Reticulum`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Reticulum_Protocol]`_`f, designed to use as little bandwidth as possible.`:cite-ref-0-1-0[`F5bf`_`[1`#cite-note-0-1]`_`f]

It enables standard long and short form messaging functionality, communication between networked devices, paper messages, and offline reception of messages.`:cite-ref-2[`F5bf`_`[2`#cite-note-2]`_`f] Offline messaging is facilitated by `F0af`_`[propagation nodes`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Propagation_nodes]`_`f.

>>Propagation node

The `B100`F9d9lxmf`f`b package comes with the `B100`F9d9lxmd`f`b program, a fully functional (but lightweight) LXMF message router and propagation node daemon.`:cite-ref-0-1-1[`F5bf`_`[1`#cite-note-0-1]`_`f]

Because it creates a `F0af`_`[shared instance`:/page/wiki.mu`path=RNS|anchor=shared-instance]`_`f if it's the first program to launch `F0af`_`[RNS`:/page/wiki.mu`path=RNS]`_`f, it's possible to run `B100`F9d9lxmd --service`f`b instead of (first) running `B100`F9d9rnsd`f`b.
