Personally, I much prefer the first.
Do most people know what [EOM] means? I'd never seen it before. Given the context I guessed it means "end of message" or "entirety of message", but were I to have first seen it as part of an E-mail I'd have no idea and would just go read the body.
- estel 15y agoThat just goes back to the far more fundamental point of writing emails (or anything else) for your audience. One should always write for their audience, not some given set of rules.
- qeorge 15y agoI've been EOMing for about 2 years. Its a great tip, I recommend it. No, I don't think most people have seen it before, but they seem to figure it out and several of my clients have adopted the habit. No one has been annoyed, or confused. Getting over my fear of people reading too much into my email tone has been a huge productivity boost in general.
- brown9-2 15y agoEom or n/t seems like the kind of thing that you figure out the very first time you see it.
- a-priori 15y agoThe first time I saw it, I thought they forgot to type a message.
