recent comment in passing (on Mastodon?) mentioned the practice of subject-only-emails, passsing
a piece of information in the subject line and ending the subject with (EOM) (end of
message) – what I found more interesting than the «productivity tip» was a quick distraction with
the markers we’ve used to end messages or transmissions – there are the obvious control codes
(specifically 0x03 ETX “end of text”) but putting control codes in the message of an
email sounds like it would lead to other issues – teleprinter systems used NNNN to
indicate end of message – -30- was used by journalists when submitting an article –
copy writers and technical writers used ### – and I vaguely remember authors would
often use *** as an end of chapter marker
