[MlMt] messages expecting reply

[aisrael]

I finally found this old post (2014) which seems (I have not tried it 
yet) to allow to identify (tagged) emails once they have received an 
answer (https://lists.freron.com/mailmate/2014-September/003121.html), 
but it does not address the possibility to remove the "awaiting-reply" 
tag. One step at a time.
