If my memory serves me right, Cycos Outlook plugin offers such mechanism :
from Outlook, you could make your phone ring and listen to the audio file !
I don't really remember if one would rate the whole process as simpler or
more natural than picking the handset and dialing the voicemail number.

Anyway, I fully agree with you that's now a matter of email client
customization capabilities, not a matter of Asterisk capabilities.
