Summary:                    Notification email should use the voicemail's
metadata
Description: 
When a user has voicemail notification enabled, the email that is sent
builds various variables (VM_DATE, VM_CALLERID, VM_CIDNAME, VM_CIDNUM) on
the fly instead of using the information from msgXXXX.txt.  This isn't
normally that different for a notification email triggered by someone
directly leaving a voicemail but it can differ significantly when it is for
a voicemail that is being forwarded.  Also, using the voicemail metadata
would make the notification email consistent with what is presented to the
user when they access the voicemail via dialing in to the voicemail app. 
For example, A leaves a voicemail for B.  B forwards the voicemail to C. 
C's notification email will say that they received an email from B whereas
when they listen to the voicemail envelope it will be listed as originating
from A.

I had thought of proposing additional fields for the envelope specific to
forwarded messages.  This gives you the additional info of who forwarded it
and when but you retain who the original message is from.  The original
callerid info from the notification email is important information which we
don't currently have.
