I have looked at the code this time.

I am not sure about how the local time is transformed to a string. I think it 
would be more useful to find the right time zone and to output the right time 
zone in the string.

Especially for RFC 2822, where, as far as I know, the -0000 means more 
something like: "The OS is too stupid to know its local time zone."

Also for IS0 8601 dates, perhaps the timezone should be nothing instead of a 
space.

Have a nice day!
