Mail clients usually use "In-Reply-To:" or "References:" headers to thread mails. But it seems gmail is also using subjects for this. However according to this, text inside square brackets is ignored : http://www.quora.com/Is-it-possible-to-change-or-add-words-to-the-subject-of-a-Gmail-email-and-keep-it-in-the-same-thread So if we add '[New]' instead of 'New:' in the subject, maybe this would fix the problem with gmail ?
