You can see the all the headers after you download the message. Thunderbird can only filter on the four headers shown before you download the message. There have been regular complaints on Thunderbird newsgroups about this and requesting changes in the filtering. I don't know how other newreaders work.

Sorry, but this really has me confused. How do you see the subjects without downloading the messages? How do you know which messages to reply to? And if you do decide to reply to a particular message then TB has to download that message and it can set the tag. The tag shows up when you open the message so you don't need to look at the headers yourself.

When I open a message in TB it has 5 or 6 header lines. The first 5, which are always present, are Subject, From, Reply-To, Date and To. The 6th is only present if the message has been tagged and is the setting of the tag (Important, Work, Personal, To-do, and Later). Each setting is shown in a different colour.
