It will show what ever you write in the subject line but it will still come up under the thread you replied to. Gmail "stacks" all replies under the same thread and only shows the oldest unread email until you click on it. The it expands to show all the replies. Even if you change the entire subject line when using the reply feature it will still appear in the "stack" of the thread you hit reply on. Confusing to have this make sense and be readable. Bottom line is don't use reply to start a NEW post. Start an entire new email if you want the most visibility.
