I've been trying Thunderbird and I pretty much like it, but one thing
could be improved - or maybe it already exists and I don't know how to
turn it on.

When replying to a post I would like to be able to highlight only a
part of the original and have that part and only that part quoted in my
reply. I know I can set TB to not quote anything and then copy and
paste the desired part, but doing it that way does not include the
typical header such as "On 4/20/2006, so and so wrote:"

Is there a way to accomplish this, perhaps with an extension?

Well, of course. But often that means highlighting and deleting 95% of
the original message, compared to highlighting only the 5% you want.
Both Eudora and Agent have this capability built in. I'm surprized that
with all the time and effort put into Thunderbird, they left this
important function out.
