Sure, but (at least in my Thunderbird) the Threaded view shows only the 
Subject lines of the earlier messages in the thread -- not the whole 
text (unless one then opens that message).

Anyway, if one replies to only a part of a long message, it is IMO 
better to quote that part (only) in the reply, even if the reader shows 
both the original and the reply at once.
