Subject: file name to group name and article number?
Date: 21 Jul 1998 18:44:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <vafn2a317dz.fsf@ramses.cs.uni-dortmund.de> (raw)

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?
