Had Charlie gone batty? Was his keyboard shorting out?
He’d just sent me a curious e-mail. It was entirely blank. But the subject line said: “Sales copy good to go. <EOM>”

Turns out that “EOM” is an acronym for “end of message.” It’s often used in e-mails, when the entire content of the e-mail is contained in the subject line. That way, the recipient doesn’t have to open the e-mail at all.
