Suppose I've got a file name, /home/kai/Mail/mail/misc/42, say. And
suppose further I know what backend this file must come from -- '(nnml
"") in this case.
Is there a standard way of converting such a file name to a group name
and an article number?
Right now I'm manually stripping off a prefix and the article number
and converting from "/" to ".", but I can't be doing The Right Thing
(tm), can I?

Nope -- all the computations go the other way around.
