[asterisk-users] Custom Voicemail emails

So here is the deal. I have an Asterisk server here at work that I  
have recently taken over and the boss is wanting the server to do a  
lot of things that it didn't do before. I have already configured much  
of what he wanted including a voice messaging line where anyone can  
call in and leave a message and then he would get that message in his  
email. However, the boss wants his email subject to read something  
like "This is an urgent message through the HISG voice messaging  
system" so he knows that that message came through that number as  
opposed to his voicemail box that already gets forwarded there. The  
default is the "[PBX]: New Message 10 in mailbox 0307". At second  
glance he would know which voicemail box is his line but he wants  
things to be different and so I am trying to make that happen.

I know there is the 'emailsubject' option. I haven't tried this yet  
but my concern is that it will set the subject the same on every  
single box (obviously what the command is designed for). I can I  
customize a voicemail message so that if something comes in on our  
0307 line it has a certain message and then we might get a message on  
1942 line that we want a different subject.

I am new to Asterisk, only been messing with it for a couple of weeks.  
Any thoughts?
