It is amusing to see in the example 4.7:

   Date: Mon, 17 Jan 1994 11:14:55 -0500 (EST)

I thought there was a problem but I saw this syntax is valid and
defined in "Son of 1036":

     timezone      = "UT" / "GMT"
                   / ( "+" / "-" ) hh mm [ space "(" zone-name ")" ]

RFC 2822 (5322) does not allow "-0500 (EST)"; it is directly "(EST)",
though obsolete.
actually (EST) is considered a comment in 2822/5322, so it's perfectly legitimate.
