Voicemail to email problems
Submitted by sme123 on Mon, 03/05/2007 - 3:06pm.
when sending voicemail to email attachments to a PDA phone on asterisk@home 2.8 the attachment just says Voicemail Sound recording and can't open the attachment without saving it first and then opening it. If it goes to a computer first and then I forward it to the treo 700wx it says the msg.000.wav file and you can open it.
I did some reading and it says there is a /n in the code when installing asterisk that has too much white space or not enough white space. Does anyone have a fix for this.
thanks

Got IT!!!
I finnally got it to email to my treo 700wx with the attachment and I don't have to save it first.
it was in the app_voicemail.c I had to edit line 1807
I removed the line that said Voicemail Sound attachment.
packed everything back up into the .iso, and it worked just great.

so do you mean you need to recompile the asterisk code, and reinstall the ISO? Is there a way to fix this on a production trixbox system?
I have been searching for this answer for some time, and have even seen threads with people requesting mp3 conversion, but this really fixes the whole issue of getting vm's to your PDA!

If anyone is still monitoring this thread, I am still trying to solve this issue. I submitted a ticket and bug report, but have not heard from anyone. I am also not sure at all how to edit source and recompile asterisk on a production system. Any ideas? I am having the exact same issue.

In case you're still paying attention johnnyb (or anyone else), this should do the trick. Be sure to stop amportal, else it'll segfault.
cd /usr/lib/asterisk/modules
perl -pi.bak -e 's/Content-Description/Xontent-Description/' app_voicemail.so
This will change the app_voicemail.so in place, and put the original at app_voicemail.so.bak. Then restart amportal. The change is small enough to not break the shared lib, but just big enough to make SMTP servers treat the attachment correctly.
Thank you!!!!

Dude!
Wow, Thanks!!! I didn not catch your posting last September (DuH!) and was waiting for the new Trixbox, hoping it would fix this issues. Am now at 2.6, and the issue is still there. I did your little trick with editiing the app_voicemail.so file, and viola, it works!! Thanks so much, this has been a huge headache, and is not fixed! Guess i need to check my settings to see why i did not get your reply last year.

gcvn... awesome post. running trixbox 2.6.1 here and this worked. Now my windows mobile users can grab their voicemails off their phone (even in wav49).
before this, attachments would only show up as "voicemail sound attachment." in WM, but work fine in Outlook.
Figured I would post some additional text to help others who may be searching for this fix.
Should this be looked at as a potential bug fix for future trixbox releases?
thanks again...
