I do this, and also use the Thunderbird feature "Place replies in the
folder of the message being replied to" to keep the entire thread in a
single folder. This makes it a lot easier to review the thread in
progress and then properly archive it.

Some MUAs are better than others at organizing threads. Nonetheless, I'd
be more than a little miffed if an admin broke threading and justified
it because most users are unaware of the feature.
