You'll need to use the following:

mail.Headers.Add("In-Reply-To", <messageid>);

The message id you should be able to get from the previous email's headers. Just look for "Message-Id".

This answer gives a few more headers you may want to add to try help threading in other clients. It seems maybe gmail is now using these, too.
