Hi Mushudog,
I'm a beginner with applescript but managed to hack together a script for you.
The scipt is largely based on the complete and awaiting reply script by Curt Clifton.
Curt Clifton graciously allowed me to post this modified script which I hope meets your needs.
Regards,
Jhn
Code:
(*
This script will take the currently selected action in OmniFocus and send it to mail, completing that action in OmniFocus and create a new "waiting for action".
The context, action prefix and suffix can be changed by changing the waitingForContext, WaitingPrefix and WaitingSuffix properties respectively.

Based on an original script copyright © 2007-2008, Curtis Clifton
This script marks the selected actions as complete and creates new actions in a "Waiting For" context to track replies.
