3. OOO
OOO, or “Out of office” can be an extremely useful one to add to your auto-reply signatures in an email. This acronym lets your coworkers know an immediate answer will not be provided and offers your coworkers the reassurance they need to find the answer to their questions via someone else.
4. NRN
When sending an email that needs no response you use NRN or “No response necessary” However, make sure to weigh pros and cons when using this one, as most people interpret statements differently.
