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 ?
