asterisk users - Mar 2005 - How to determine the voicemail file name for an AGI script

I've read several of the Wiki sections on Voicemail and "Asterisk 
variables" but could not find an obvious answer to this question.

I would like to run a script that post-processes the voicemail after the 
Voicemail application returns (with AGI or DeadAGI), but I cannot figure 
out how to easily determine the name of the file written by the 
Voicemail application.  Does anyone know of an efficient way to access 
that information from within the dialplan so that it may be passed to 
the AGI script?

Thanks for your help,
Bryan

Well, you could store the extension/context of the voicemail box that
you sent the call to. From there it is just a matter of looking in the
appropriate directory and dealing with the way voicemail write the
information out.

I was briefly playing with externnotify in voicemail.conf trying to do 
some processing on new VMs.  It seems only the number of new & old 
messages are sent, not the filename or message number of the newly 
deposited mail.

Perhaps a patch to the VM app could provide the information we both are 
seeking.
