Hi,

`newsticker--decode-rfc822-date' matches North American timezone in
regex, but the actually time stamp conversion was not implemented.
This patch fixes the missing timezone conversion.

Paul, any comments?  If not, I intend to install this on master.
It looks OK. I installed it on master for you, and am closing this bug report.
My only comment is that RFC 822 abbreviations like "EST" have been officially obsolete ever since RFC 2822 (2001) and are likely to become simply wrong if the US Congress changes EST to -0400 as it keeps threatening to do. Current email as a rule doesn't (and obviously shouldn't) use these obsolete abbreviations. Still, it's helpful to support them for reading old email archives.
I did a quick pass through Emacs master looking for places where it generates or encourages the use of obsolete or nonstandard time zone abbreviations, and installed the attached further patches on master to fix the issues I found.
