+==== Automatically hatch a list of files to FDN ====
+The '[AutoHatch]' stanza tasks MUTIL with automatically hatching / sending nominated files to Mystic echomail nodes connected to nominated file bases.
+This can be a useful tool if you wanted to automate regular files to be sent to echomail nodes. E.g a weekly  FTN style nodelist (e.g. FSXNET.Z33) or infopack or other files you want to ensure both new and old echomail nodes should possess locally on their systems.
+To enable this function you modify the '[general]' stanza as follows:
+  [general]
+  AutoHatch           = true
+For this function to work each file defined must already exist in a file base on your BBS.
+The syntax for each file to be hatched is defined on a individual line.
+The format is
+        file=<base ID or echotag> | filename | replaces filename (optional)
+An example of this might be:
+        file=nodelist | fsxnet.z99 | fsxnet.z99
+        file=3        | infopack.zip
+The above will hatch two files.
+One called fsxnet.z99 to be hatched to a filebase with an echotag of 'nodelist' and ensure the file being hatched replaced any prior file called fsxnet.z99 on the receiving echomail node.
+The other from a file base on the BBS with an ID of 3 and send the file called infopack.zip located in that file base out to all connected echomail nodes.
