Just for the record, "k d" will add the "deleted" tag by default in
search, tree and show mode

I don't understand this part. What is the relationship between a thread
and a folder for you?

You can make some other query that doesn't match the whole thread, then
use * to tag all the messages match that query (perhaps using unthreaded
view).
I don't know a nice UI to do that with a few keystrokes. I suppose I'd
probably give the message in question a tag:tmp and the search for
tag:tmp and tag:deleted in order to "undelete" it. All of that with the
disclaimer that I don't really understand the problem description.
