Here is a patch for the very latest Message.pm to do this:

----------------------SNIP--------------------
2637,2638c2637,2638
<   # Make it a digest if it wasn't multipart already.
<   $entity->make_multipart("digest");
---
 >   # Make it a report if it wasn't multipart already.

2640c2640
<   $entity->head->mime_attr("Content-type" => "multipart/digest");
---
 >   $entity->head->mime_attr("Content-type" => "multipart/report"); # Used
to be digest
----------------------SNIP--------------------

Basically just find every occurrence of "digest" in Message.pm and replace
it with "report".

Please can you try this and let me know if it works okay. If I don't hear
any bad comments about it, I will include it in this weekend's (hopefully)
release of 4.24.
