Gee, Gmail!


When my friend Mary emails me, she often types her entire message in the subject line. Her emails are often brief, but not always. Anyway, the body of these emails is blank -- if you try to send an email like this in Gmail, you will get an unnecessary prompt:

Now, all you subject-line-only emailers can avoid this, thanks to a handy tip from Gmail:

'...you can add "EOM" or "(EOM)" at the end of the subject line (short for End Of Message), and Gmail will silently send the message without the unnecessary prompt.'
