That's the mailman archiving feature being too "smart".  I didn't
remove any Re from the subject, I wrote an entirely new message.  It
just happened to use the same Subject line as some previous
discussion, so mailman decided they were the same thread.  If you
examine the mail headers of my message, you will see that it doesn't
have the other messages in its References header, and no In Reply To,
either.  I hope the MUA you are using to read the mailing list is
smarter than mailman.

So you may wish to submit a bug report against Gmail for too naïve
threading.

Using any MUA we have in Emacs will produce much better results.
