asterisk users - May 2006 - Voicemail WAV to PDA Problems

Our asterisk server has been up and running for over a year and it works 
great.  I have emails going to my account as an attachment and I can 
listen to them on the desktop and it works fine.  I just got a T-Mobile 
MDA that runs Windows Pocket (or whatever they call it) and it can check 
email.  If I have it download the email, it gets the attachment, but it 
can't seem to play it (it CAN play wav files).  If I take the email that 
was sent to my home account and then "forward it to myself" and let
the
MDA pick it up, then it can play the attachment.  So clearly it isn't an 
issue playing WAV's, or even WAV's from Asterisk, it's some email 
attachment issue with the way Asterisk or Postfix sends the attachment. 
  Has anybody else run into this problem?  If so, any help would be 
appreciated.

Our system is running all of the latest code and freepbx and would send the
attachment to my MDA just fine and I was able to play it without any
problem. My problem was that the MDA is a worthless turd and a complete joke
as a phone. I took it back and switched to the backberry 8700g which has its
own attachment problems.

Anyone who is going to be visiting JavaOne in San Francisco next week
come and say hi to me on the Savaje Stand (www.savaje.com).

Lets just say we have something interesting to show you that will solve
this problem (and more).
