Actually, you may (sort of) be able to do it with TBird as well.
In the "Search" dialog you select "Customize" and create a new header of
"References". You use that as your search criteria. Now, the problem
with that is the "References" header only contains the domain name and
message-id of the first instance of a response by a responder. So, it
may only be useful for someone such as myself with a unique domain
name. :-)

as such, however.
But, I haven't found any client that would eliminate viewing follow ups
that are OT...which I felt was one of the criteria of the OP. :-) :-)
