It's quite logical that it is done this way, if you understand how a
mailing lists works ;)

When you send a email to the mailing list, you send it without [PHP],
and so Gmail thinks that's the message title. Once it arrives at the
mailing list server, the server adds [PHP] in front of the title, and
sends it to all subscribed members. All members that receive this
message, get the message with [PHP] in front. Now when somebody
replies to the list, the title will be something like Re: [PHP] Title.
Now when gmail detects that this message still belongs to the same
thread, it adds the message, and keeps the original title. Which is
Title for the OP, and [PHP] Title for all other users.
