[issue22932] email.utils.formatdate uses unreliable time.timezone constant

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

That's a bug (you will note that it causes a test failure in the email test suite).  -0000 means "this date is in UTC, but that may or may not be the local timezone of the message".  +0000 means "this date really is in the UTC timezone".  utils.format_datetime uses +0000 if and only if the datetime is an aware UTC datetime.
