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 agree with jamessan that supporting the original callerid fields as well
as having the correct originating information in a new envelope would be a
good "nice to have". Those additional fields I would consider to be new
functionality. 
 However, the way it is now, it almost seems a breach of confidentiality
for C to know that A originated the voicemail message when it was B that
did the forwarding. This falls more into the "bug" category in my mind.
