Wouldn't it be enough to just click first reply and then edit subject?
how gmail handles the threads is byzantine; i've tested it several times, and in today's test if i change the subject in a reply in another client, gmail will treat it as a new "conversation" despite the proper threading headers; if i change the subject while replying from within gmail, it is considered part of the same conversation in gmail, but will be sent without the threading headers so other clients will see it as a new thread (and the same may be true when a mailing list sends your email back to you)
gmail aside, the standard in any email client is that replies, whether the subject is changed or not, will be threaded; there are good reasons to change a subject line during a thread; the fact that most people don't use threaded email clients, or that gmail has decided (for all of us) that conversations are better than threads, doesn't matter; to start a new thread, create a new blank email
