Summary:                    [patch] Ability to force forwarding WITH comment
Description: 
This patch adds a configuration keyword to the voicemail.conf file called
"forcecomment".  The default is "no".  When set to "yes", voicemail users
will not be given the choice to forward with comment or forward without
comment.  Voicemail will go right into recording the comment.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
The problem with this is that it's a policy question masquerading as a
feature patch.  Note that it's very simple to evade the requirement of a
prepend: even 20ms of prepended sound counts as a prepend succeeding.

The only way to succeed with such a policy question is simply to require
your staff to prepend a message, and enforcing this policy.  It is
otherwise an ineffective solution.
