Morphology

EOM = end + message (semi-transparent) = E + O + M

The initialism directly encodes the common phrase 'end of message', so a learner who recognises the initials and the base words can readily infer the meaning. [Postprocessing: changed transparency from 'transparent' to 'semi-transparent' for abbreviation]

Etymology

EOM stands for end of message, meaning 'no more text', and writers put it in an email subject to show there is nothing in the message body. So when you see EOM in a subject line, you know the whole message is in the subject and there is no more to read.
