John,
In Thunderbird, sort your threaded messages by date. Then you have the 
thread with the most recent additions fist (I sort with most recent up) 
and the you have exactly what you want.
If your thread is collapsed you see the addition to the thread as the 
starting mail of the thread is underlined.
I use that for over 3 years and never wanted it otherwise.
The best way is first to collapse all threads and then sort them on 
date, most recent first.
