Asterisk will send the NOTIFY for MWI even if the device doesn't  
subscribe, unless you tell it not to.  This is necessary for some  
phones for MWI to work.  If you _don't_ want Asterisk to do this, you  
can set the "subscribemwi=yes" option in sip.conf.  This tells  
Asterisk to _only_ send MWI with an associated subscription.
