You need to get your broken mailer fixed so that it doesn't put
these useless non-conformant timezones on your mail if you want
people to bother with it.  At least one widely-used MUA stops
parsing the message at this point and throws away the rest of
the headers and the body.  This may not be elegant, but it's not
surprising if people send out non-conformant mail.

In addition, it's a courtesy to others to ensure that your date
headers have both the correct date/time and a correct timezone
so that people who wish to sort mail by date can do so.
