Why do people use EOM?

In busy work environments, using EOM in the subject line of an email saves time for both the sender and the recipient. Since the subject line contains the entire message, there's no need to open the email to read its contents.

When is it useful?

EOM can be handy for many situations, such as time-off requests, single-topic messages, interoffice memos, or confirming/canceling team meetings. It helps to streamline communication, especially when the message is short and straightforward.

Other contexts for EOM

EOM can also appear in online forums, chats, and blogs to indicate the end of a message or comment. It shows that the person has finished typing and has nothing more to add to the subject.
