No text
In emails, NT stands for "no text." An email whose subject starts or ends with NT will likely contain no body text, because the sender has fit their entire message into the email's subject line.
If you receive an email whose subject line contains NT, you likely do not need to open it, as it should not contain any body text. NT is similar to the acronyms SIM and SSIA, which are also used to tell recipients that an email's subject is its message.

No thanks
Someone who does not want what you're offering might use NT to mean "no thanks." You're most likely to encounter this polite refusal in text or chat messages,
For example, if you ask your mother whether she wants to go to a baseball game with you, she might respond with "NT, those things are too long." This means your mother is happy you thought of her, but she doesn't want to go to the game.
