It looks, like your email-client is doing the sorting / threading of the mails by the topic and not the specific number, that each email have. In my mail-client, this emails start everytime a new thread. It looks like someone had the (good) idea to mention, that the user should give a summary, but different people seem, that they don't see this line and do not add the summary, so they all have the same "topic" "YOU MUST GIVE A SUMMARY HERE". These people are often new to computers, so please, don't be to angry about them. And I bet, that they are not replying to any former emails, because most of them are not subscribed to the mailing-list (have a look at the headers, when you see something like "delivered to moderator", you know, that they are no subscribers).
