and
(info "(emacs) Calendar Systems")
one thinks, ah ha, why aren't these tied together, with a
W T x ...   	gnus-article-date-emacs-calendar
which would fetch the date via emacs' calendar system,
(Where each letter was a different calendar system.)
So
W T x a
would show your mail's date in the Azerbaijani calendar,
W T x b
would show your mail's date in the Bulgarian calendar, etc.

Some real examples:

Here in Taiwan, all official documents use 110, not 2021, so such would
be very useful for people who want to think in one system when reading a
mail.

Same in Japan. It's not "only 2021" officially.
