I'm not sure if you really mean "displayed incorrectly" or "generated
incorrectly".  How (where) did you check?

I'm quite sure that Gnus (message.el) doesn't do anything incorrect
here, since the defun is pretty simple and doesn't frob timezone data.
Maybe you OS returns bogus data.

(defun message-make-date (&optional now)
  "Make a valid data header.
If NOW, use that time instead."
  (let ((system-time-locale "C"))
    (format-time-string "%a, %d %b %Y %T %z" now)))
