Great post!!

Here are my comments:

* Instead of `Thread-ID` you might want to use `“In-Reply-To” is in 
“Waiting on Reply” “Message-ID”`. Otherwise I think you get into 
trouble when waiting on a reply in a longer thread.
* Maybe the mailbox should be named “Received Replies” since it 
contains the replies and not the original messages.
* Note that given “Received Replies” you can easily add a counter in 
the Counters preferences pane and get a dock/menu-count or 
sound/notification when a reply arrives (sounds can also be done using 
rules and eventually notifications are also going to be available via 
rules).
* A variant of this system is to add a condition to “Waiting for 
Reply” to only display messages older than X days. This would allow 
you to see messages for which you might need to remind the recipient 
that you are still waiting for a reply (please don't use that against me 
;-) ).


Alternative idea (which might not be much better):

You can add a smart mailbox based on “Waiting for Reply” with the 
reversed condition: `“Message-ID” is in “Inbox” 
“In-Reply-To”`. Then add a rule to this mailbox with an archive 
action (no conditions). It'll always be empty, but it'll take care of 
moving waiting messages to your archive. But this breaks the “Received 
Replies” mailbox and I think the best way to fix that is to also add a 
“HasReply” tag to the archived message. Then base the other mailbox 
(Received Replies) on Inbox messages for which the parent has this tag. 
Hmm, that might require another smart mailbox -- well, I wrote this 
might not be much better :-)

OK, I guess technically (at least where I am) it is no longer this 
evening, but... 12:12am, close enough :-)
