NT means "No Text". This means there is nothing in the message body. Hopefully the message title can speak by itself.
Often I have seen this reply (NT) in bold print. What does it mean?

I, myself, have never liked this forum's use of "(nt)" because of the similarity to its use in Windows NT.
I think is can be confusing. I would much rather use the old "(eom)" (end of message) than has been around for years.
Using that on the end of a subject line, instead of where some people put the "(nt)" at either the end or beginning, means exactly that: the end of the message"
But I capitulate. I will use what others seem to want to use.
