-====== Import FIDONET.NA into Message bases ======
+====== Import FIDONET.NA in to message bases ======
+The '[Import_FIDONET.NA]' stanza tasks MUTIL with running a function that will bulk auto create a number of message bases in Mystic for you.
+MUTIL looks to a specially formatted text file that you specify. It's formatted with echoarea tag and a description of the message base. Mystic then will create the message bases contained in this file en-mass and quickly!
+Here's an snippet from a .NA file set up for Fidonet echoareas
+  MOVIES              Movies & TV Discussion
+  MUFFIN              Maximus BBS Discussion And Support.
+  MYSTIC              Discussion and chat about the Mystic BBS software
+  NET_DEV             Fidonet Network Development
+  NFL                 National Football League scores, discussion, etc.
+  NHL                 The National Hockey League Discussion Echo
+To enable this function you modify the '[general]' stanza as follows:
+  [general]
+  Import_FIDONET.NA       = true
+There a several switches you can configure that relate to this function.
+The filename to read when running the import process.
+  ; filename to import
+    filename = fidonet.na
+Should Mystic convert echoarea tags to lowercase?
+  ; convert tags to lower case for message base filename  1=yes
+    lowercase_filename = 1
+The following options define the "default" values used when creating any new message bases.  __netaddress must match an exiting network address configured within Mystic BBS__.  default values are also taken from the system configuration for origin line, colors, etc.
+In the example below we want newly created fsxNet message bases to have the address 21:1/123 (a node number you have been allocated), level 10 security and group 1 membership to see the message base and read it's content, level 20 security and group 1 membership to post to it etc.
+  ; the network address to associate with the message base
+    netaddress     = 21:1/123
+  ; ACS to see the message base
+    acs_list       = s10g1
+  ; ACS to read messages in the message base
+    acs_read       = s10g1
+  ; ACS to post a message in the message base
+    acs_post       = s20g1
+  ; ACS to use the message base with sysop access
+    acs_sysop      = s255g1
+  ; Display header to use in message base
+    header         = msghead
+  ; Display template to use in message base
+    read_template  = ansimrd
+  ; Index template to use in message base
+    index_template = ansimlst
+  ; maximum messages to retain
+    max_msgs       = 500
+  ; maximum number of days to hold messages
+    max_msgs_age   = 365
+  ; true/false type values 0=false 1=true (newscan 2=forced)
+  ; allow auto signatures in this base?
+    use_autosig    = 1
+  ; use real names in this base?
+    use_realname   = 0
+  ; kill kludge lines in this base?
+    kill_kludge    = 1
+  ; base is part of new messages scan?
+    new_scan       = 1
+  ; base is part of new messages scan for QWK network?
+    qwk_scan       = 1
+  ; define message base format 0 = JAM
+    base_format = 0
