Unfortunately, regular Voicemail/VoiceMailMain does not have
customizable menus.  However, if that is something you need/want, look
into MiniVM.  It's definitely a build-it-yourself approach, but will
accomplish what you are looking to do.

A "more (less?) drastic" approach for those not inclined to BIY would be to
"silence" the prompts for the unwanted VM options.  I'm betting that 90% of
end-users only know the functions that they are told by the system.
