[asterisk-dev] Re: sip address in voicemail emails

[Mark Price]

Hi,

Item zero, Thanks for hosting and participating in this list, digium, and
all the developers involved.

First, I realize that my first post probably did not belong on
asterisk-dev.  I had intended to remove that address from my recipients
list, but did not
Secondly,  I figure that now that my neck is extended, I should write to
clarify one thing and correct another in my first email.

To clarify to myself, I made a call from a different sip domain from a
username that does not exist on the asterisk box, and found out that it is
true: VM_CIDNUM contains the username, but not the domain name of the call.
Therefore, as long as the username is a telephone number, we can work around
that, but the message printed to describe a non-telephone-number phone call
will be incorrect.

Second, if i include in the emailbody variable sip:${VM_CIDNUM}@mydomain (on

I thought I should point out I was incorrect.  The text portion of the email
is given mime-type "text."  Therefore it appears to be impossible to send a
sip link in the email unless the receiving email client knows how to
recognize them (as many know how to recognize http:// and mailto: links).
