2. Next time, please create a new mail, instead of replying to an existing thread and changing the topic
What's wrong with that?
Changing the topic has no effect on the threading in 'real' and 'proper' mail clients, which track threads based on message headers. Of course, those who use gmail don't notice it because google in their infinite wisdom decided to ignore those message headers and thread based on topic =)
by gmail, do you mean the gmail web interface or the gmail mail service? i am using the web interface, and has the behavior you depicted for gmail. if i use a "real" and "proper" mail client, would it be better?
Depends what 'better' means. Gmail makes it seem as if the renamed topic leads to a new thread, but once you're aware of that you can always just compose a new mail for a new topic (copy-paste isn't that hard). Gmail's interface is very good for other things, after all.
