I got it - at least in Windows - a step in the right direction, but 
still no thread subject.

To change the Reply header in Mail:
Open, with a text editor - I use Pedit because the file is too large for 
Notepad, and I don't trust Word for this sort of thing.
[your program install directoy] \defaults\pref\mailnews.js

Search for the line:
// 0=no header, 1="<author> wrote:", 2="On <date> <author> wrote:", 
3="<author> wrote On <date>:", 4=user specified

Change the numeric value in the line below it and SAVE.
pref("mailnews.reply_header_type",          0);

I have yet to try it on the Linux side, because apparently Gecko is a 
very social beast.
I tried to re-skin Mozilla, and half the components were adopted by my 
JUNO email client, and they don't even reside on the same partition.
I never realized that Juno was Gecko driven, I thought it was just thier 
own "proprietary" software.
