How do I write a subject line if all I want to say can be conveyed in the subject heading?

Tim Burress (E-mail Etiquette and Organization Specialist) gives expert video advice on: What is important to include in a business e-mail 'subject line'?; How do I write a subject line in an e-mail that delivers requested information? and more...

Sometimes when a message is so short, such as "Don't forget next Tuesday's meeting", people will only need to type that in the subject line of the business e-mail. Therefore when you open the e-mail as a receiver, the same message will be in the text of the business e-mail when you open it, "Don't forget next Tuesday's meeting". Indeed if the message is that short and all you need to say can fit in the subject line of the business e-mail, just use the subject line as the message. But you should signal to the receiver that that is all the message by typing "eom", also known as "end of message", at the end of the subject line of your business e-mail.
