----------------------------------------

[~EricS] If you'd like to submit a change to add this to the documentation (it's a bit of XML in the code) feel free to. If you have any questions for how to do so just ask and we'll help out. Otherwise I will put this into the queue for our documentation person.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: None
>          Components: Applications/app_voicemail, Documentation
>    Affects Versions: 14.0.1
>            Reporter: Eric Smith
>            Severity: Minor

> VMSayName accepts digits during playback and will jump to the extension entered in the current context. In that respect it acts similar to Background() or WaitExten().
> This is not mentioned anywhere in the wiki: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+13+Application_VMSayName so this bug could cause unexpected behavior in the dialplan.
> This actually suits my purposes. If you wrap VMSayName in a subroutine, you can catch all input with extension i and exit out early on interrupt. So naturally, I think it should be left alone and the wiki be updated with this behavior. ;)
> Thanks!
