Yes

1 Select C and B and reparent
2 Select B and A and reparent
3 Select D and B and reparent

This is exactly the reason why I chose this approach, as the script
cannot decide if it should be

A
+- B
+- C
+- D

or

A
+- B
+- C
   +- D

or

A
+- B
   +- C
   +- D

or

A
+- B
|  +- C
+- D

or

A
+- B
   +- C
      +- D

Selecting two messages will always work, as only the leaf message is
modified (and the Message-Id is never changed)
