EOM?

When sending an e-mail without any content, what should you put in the subject line to indicate the body of the message is empty? If the recipient is surprised to find the message empty, then you have failed.

I've seen two different ways of trying to convey an entire message with just a subject line. The first I might call the standard [EOM]. The other frankly left me a bit surprised and confused. Would you use [nt]?

Anyone who is "surprised" by an empty email body would never understand an acronym...

I've only ever gotten an EOM in the subject from people who use Outlook. Why is that?

What is it about Outlook that makes it hard to go from the subject to the body?
