Unfortunately:

1) The command line is the value of the "mailcmd" variable from 
voicemail.conf -- no additional arguments, nothing interesting like the 
channel, exten, etc.

2) The environment is boring, nothing of value here.

3) Stdin is the header and body ready to be processed by "sendmail -t" or 
your replacement. You could define emailbody to something like:

emailbody=VM_CALLERID=${VM_CALLERID}\nVM_CIDNAME=${VM_CIDNAME}\nVM_CIDNUM=${VM_CIDNUM}\nVM_DATE=${VM_DATE}\nVM_DUR=${VM_DUR\ 
}\nVM_MAILBOX=${VM_MAILBOX}\nVM_MSGNUM=${VM_MSGNUM}\nVM_NAME=${VM_NAME}\n

to make it somewhat easy to parse. If you need something else, you could 
stuff it into CALLERID(name) before calling the voicemail application.

What do you want to accomplish?
