That's what the "s" is for.  Use it together with the "b" or "u" to
suppress the recording-instructions.  This only works with Voicemail2,
BTW, as the original Voicemail-app doesn't allow it to be used together
with the other options.

Mark talked about adding an extra menu some time ago and this was one
of the features discussed, if I'm not mistaken.  I'm not sure what the
status is at the moment.
