If the listener disconnects before the message is finished playing, MANY 
VM systems keep that message marked as new. The listener has to finish 
the message OR press a digit to mark as delete or save.
The VM system in Asterisk is limited in many respects. Wasn't there a 
rewrite of the system in progress??
