In Calendar, if one doesn't want to see ambiguous time zones names, like "CST",
in .emacs one must put e.g.,
(setq calendar-standard-time-zone-name "+0800")

I.e., if the user enjoys seeing numeric time zone names, just like the
mail headers surely above, he must "do it himself".

Therefore please add a
(setq calender-use-numeric-time-zone-names t) ; enabled
new variable.

Message doesn't use those things, so I'm not sure what you're referring to:

In what circumstances do you see Emacs using "CST"?  They should all be
stamped out.  :-)

OK never mind that I mentioned mail headers. Just concentrate on the
fact that I'm talking about calendar.

So where are you seeing these time zones?  Please provide a recipe to
see the problem.

                                             ^^^^^^had to hardwire a
                                             certain number, because
                                             there is no way to tell it
                                             to just show me numbers,
                                             instead of names.

Thanks.  I've now added a new variable calendar-use-numeric-time-zones
to Emacs 28.1.
