It would probably be uneventful, except that I would fill up my gmail  
accounts pretty quickly.  So in that way, it's only a fork bomb for  
my own accounts and stops when they fill up.

2.7 GB as of yesterday.  The next question would be, how to get rid  
of all those e-mails?  The only way I've seen to delete message is to  
mark them and then delete.  Unfortunately, I don't see how marking  
messages can be automated.  I have to go screen by screen.

Anyone know of a better way?

Gmail filters would then need to be enabled with a bit more  
functionality, not just forwarding and tagging.

I wouldn't presume that much.  It's just basic self-replication.

Yup.  Strange loops.
