[asterisk-users] German date format in voicemail emails

[Danny Nicholas]

Did you read the source for app_voicemail?  Line 239 says you have to set
locale in the config and have the sound file einE.  Of course an easier way
would be to locate the 19 day and month files and just replace them with
German equivalents (assuming that 26 and 2009 sound the same in a German
pronunciation).

I tried setting the locale in app_voicemail manually (ported from 
minivm) and then it works.

But now I try setting it in the environment before starting Asterisk, 
but that does not work .....
