I also use thunderbird with the view set to see threads. I also 'replay' the thread by clicking on each message in turn. I find that big threads can get quite unwieldly in thunderbird (i.e. when the subject line is indented past the end of the subject column). With google wave you would just have one 'wave' with everybody's edits, which you could replay by clicking the replay button, and scrolling through the timeline. This seems much cleaner and intuitive to me than the thunderbird thread view, so I'm looking forward to trying it out when they release it. There is also no need for bottom posting if you use thunderbird with thread view, as everyone could simply not include the previous messages assuming everybody had all the messages in the thread, but it's much nicer to have all the relevant information for the post in it, so you don't have to go through each message in turn to get the relevant information.
