This looks perfect. It's a shame it can't be brought forward.

The patch we're now considering is very limited in scope. It would 
retrieve the email address(es) from voicemail.conf or realtime as 
normal. If the field contains a comma, space, tab, colon, or semicolon, 
or any combination of them, it splits the email addresses using these, 
and send to all of them. If app_voicemail were written in Perl, the code 
would be (assuming $email hold the address(es) from voicemail.conf or 
realtime):

foreach my $address ( split( /[,\s:;]+/, $email ) {
	# send to $address
}

If we wrote this and submitted it, would it get included for 1.4 
(assuming of course it was decent quality)?
