You are right.  I did spend some time with the man pages, but I didn't
realize the power of the header manipulation options.  It is indeed
possible to manually force a specific header onto the digest parts,
either by directly specifying it with [aAiI], or possibly by extracting
it with [xX] and then adding it with the previous options.  I'm not
sure how to do the latter without some sort of variable assignment, but
the former is sufficient in any event.  I have switched away from
digest mode in the meantime, but thanks for the tip in case I ever
decide to return.
