Summary:                    [patch] VoiceMail d([context]) option does not set
extension, priority
Description: 
The VoiceMail() 'd' option is supposed to allow you to dial a single digit
extension during the playback of the initial prompt.

This doesn't work, but is easily fixed.

Using the following very simple example extensions.conf (assume voicemail
box is all happy):

[default]
exten => 200,1,VoiceMail(200,ud(vmexit))

[vmexit]
exten => _X,1,SayDigits(${EXTEN})
exten => _X,n,DumpChan()
exten => _X,n,Goto(default,200,1)

Now, when you start voicemail and enter a digit, it should jump to that
digit in the vmexit context.

It doesn't - it tries to jump to the original extension in the vmexit
context, ie.:

[Feb  3 13:01:26] WARNING[22057]: pbx.c:3358 __ast_pbx_run: Channel
'SIP/200-081ee6b8' sent into invalid extension '200' in context 'vmexit',
but no invalid handler

So the only problem you could fix (and really, it's a feature that we
simply chose not to add) was to set channel variables that specified the
vmcontext and mailbox that were jumped out of.  You, of course, can get
nearly the same behavior by setting those variables prior to entering the
Voicemail application, assuming you're not using the Voicemail app to
request the mailbox number (which nearly nobody does anymore, anyway).
