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 rethought the problem and instead created 4 additional variables for your
use.  Note that you can use the IFNULL() dialplan function to optionally
select either one, depending on if the others are blank.

The existing variables remain the same, for backwards compatibility. 
However, in addition to the existing variables, ORIG_VM_DATE,
ORIG_VM_CALLERID, ORIG_VM_CIDNUM, and ORIG_VM_CIDNAME correspond to the
values within the message information file.
