gnus-article-time-format is used only when displaying date in
the article buffer.  In this case, perhaps you'd better use
general functions like the following:

(format-time-string
 "%b %d, %Y %T"
 (apply 'encode-time
	(parse-time-string
	 (mail-header-date gnus-current-headers))))

This form returns the string of the date in the local timezone,
so "Tue, 17 May 2005 18:55:18 +0900" will be expressed as
"May 17, 2005 09:55:18" (if you are in the +0000 zone).
