Please, when you introduce a new subject, do not reply to another posting. Copy 
and paste of the group address into a new message is much better.

Those are references to unique messageIDs for earlier postings relating to the 
same thread. It's possible to combine all the postings in a thread even if 
small changes, like Aw: added instead of Re:, are made. Many mail clients will 
do this if asked but they get confused when new postings are made while 
hijacking a thread and just changing the subject.
