Wow.  I thought I'd seen everything when it comes to people's confusion
with sending email.  I was wrong.

The references line is added by your mail software when you
*respond*to*the*message*.  You don't add it to the subject.  It makes no
sense do do so.  Please don't do this again.  Adding a reference line as
the subject doesn't help anyone.

And, please don't add the headers to the body of the message either.
That makes no sense either.
