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.
