This could quickly get recursive. Let me save you the trouble:
while true; do
echo "kool-aid drinker: it's easier to find an item in a short menu" | \
mail -s "Re: Bugs in default GNOME etch?" debian-devel@listss.debian.org
echo "everyone else: it's impossible to find an item that isn't there" | \
mail -s "Re: Bugs in default GNOME etch?" debian-devel@listss.debian.org
done
