1. At a computer system that is network connectable along with one or more other computer systems to a network, a method of reliably transferring a message, the method comprisingan act of accessing a transfer message configured in accordance with a messaging protocol, the transfer message encapsulating an encoded application message, the encoded application message being encoded from an application message configured in accordance with the messaging protocol;

  • wherein the transfer message, the encoded application message and the application message all include one or more composable protocol elements selected from the group consisting of addressing, security, reliability, and transaction protocol elements;

    wherein the encoded application message was encoded to obscure the one or more composable protocol elements included in the application message and wherein the encoded application message was encapsulated in the transfer message such that the one or more composable protocol elements encoded in the application message do not interfere with reusing the one or more composable protocol elements in the transfer message;

    an act of reusing the one or more composable protocol elements included in the encoded application message in a store and forward message to configure the store and forward message in accordance with the messaging protocol, the store and forward message for delivery to a next store and forward service based on the position of the computer system relative to a receiving computer system that is to receive the application message;

    an act of encoding a transfer header from the transfer message into a corresponding encoded transfer header;

    wherein the transfer header reuses one or more composable protocol elements used in the store and forward message; and

    wherein the encoded transfer header was encoded to obscure the one or more composable protocol elements included in the transfer header such that the composable protocol elements included in the transfer header to not interfere with the composable protocol elements included in the encoded transfer header;

    an act of encapsulating the encoded transfer header and the encoded application message into the store and forward message such that the one or more composable protocol elements encoded in the transfer header and encoded in the application message are obscured from and do not interfere with reusing any of the composable protocol elements in the store and forward message; and

    an act of forwarding the store and forward message to the next store and forward service.
