+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 :

+So if we add '[New]' instead of 'New:' in the subject, maybe this would fix
+the problem with gmail ?
