Hi Marnus,

externnotify, of course. I always end up spending months away from
asterisk so by the time I come back to it, I've forgotten half the
stuff. Thanks for the reminder. Now, maybe I'm stupid but how exactly
do I get details to it regarding all those VM variables that are
inserted when the email is normally sent out from voicemail. You know
the VM_NAME, VM_DUR etc etc? I quickly tested this but as per the
doco. for it, it automatically passes only 3 variables to the
externotify script. Do I go parsing msgxxxx.txt file for the rest of
the info? I may not have that in the case I'm using RealTime
Voicemail.
