I think you may be confusing people with your terminology.  When you
say 'thread' the usual interpretation of that is every single message
related to the message you are replying to - not the contents of the
one email, but every single relate email message.  This is not
something that any mail program does and I hope is never ever
implemented.

If you mean the whole contents of the single email and all the quoted
bits and the long list of irrelevant messages that no one can be
bothered to trim, then yes, Evolution does quote all those as well by
default.

What you are probably seeing is the *proper* use of signature
separators.  Evolution, like most other properly behaving MUAs, does
not quote anything below the signature separator: why do you *need* to
quote someone else's signature in your reply?  The signature separator
is '-- ' on a line of its own.  However if some program decides to put
the signature, with signature separator, above the rest of the in-line
quoted material, then Evolution will not include the quoted material.

As far as I know there is no way to turn off this behaviour in the user
interface, but I've never really looked very hard.
