Apparently, at some stage Thunderbird had an option for that (it called
it QuoteCollapse), and I saw a comment that it may have come back. 
Dunno if they meant internally, or as an add-on.  You could search your
settings for that, or in the about:config under-the-bonnet tweaking
options.

Other names for the same feature: suppress, mask, mute, hide

Some mail clients have options for hiding quotes, and another
separately, for signatures (the boilerplate text, not PGP signatures). 
I only see hiding them causing problems, hiding bits of messages that
maybe they shouldn't.

I remember one client that had a dimming option, it dulled out the
quoted text (more than the mid-grey Evolution is doing for me, now, but
I can adjust that), so that new text was *much* more prominent than
quoted text, but all of it was still readable.  And you could flick it
on and off without reconfiguring the client.  A useful feature, so long
as it could actually tell the difference between old quotes and new
content.

Other's simply checkboarded odd and even generations of quotes between
two different colour schemes.  Too-many colours all over the place can
be a bit overwhelming, but limiting it to three wasn't too bad (new
text, one set of quotes, another set of quotes).  Though people should
really edit out very old message content.
