Voicemail are saved on the server in all format specified in
voicemail.conf, but only the first one is sent with the email.  If
you're using Windows on your email clients, I'd suggest that you
go with WAV (and yes, case matters), as that format is a compressed
sound format recognized by Microsoft (aka MSGSM, WAV49).
