Summary:                    [feature request] 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.

The Email notification is fine, this is great. When using the phone and
replying to the forwarded message it sends the message to the ORIGINAL
sender instead of the IMMEDIATE sender.

Why is this important?

John sends a message to Sally complaining. Sally forwards the message with
a "prepend" to Jim a colleague who then replies and says, "Yeah John is an
a-hole." The message gets sent to John and Jim gets fired for his comment.
The message should be sent to Sally and not John.
