[asterisk-users] Incorrect voice mail format on transfer

I also noticed that there was a version of asterisk that had a voicemail
bug dealing with this... I am run 1.4.26.2 now and what was happening
was if IMAP forwarded (and corrupted) a voicemail, the user would try to
retrieve the message and the system would hangup on them.. The updated
code seemed to acknowledged the corrupted message (if it happened again)
and ignored it and went to the next message...

You probably have a problem with people deleting temporary "out of
office" messages as well...

Phew! So it's not just me! That's exactly the problem - not leaving the
message but forwarding it (I suppose the correct term rather than
transfer).  Thanks - John
