I think you are starting to get to action at a distance. While I understand how you would get to the idea of it applying to the mailbox definition, I think it is a bad idea to append to the end here. I think it is important for the admin to know what is going on, and what happens if later on they change the contexts of the dialplan around and it therefore borks voicemail. I say all other config options are configing the channel, not anything else hanging on the side so this should be explicit. Of course now I'll disclaim that I'm still not using VM2. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
