asterisk users - Nov 2006 - Custom voicemail extension greeting

Making custom "voicemail greetings" seems fairly straight forward, and
I've done it.

However, I'm looking for a way to make the actual extension answer with
"You've reached my Jim Dandy voice mailbox, go take a flying . .
.".  (OK, so maybe not), instead of "The person at extension xxxx, is
unavailable"

Possible?  Easy?  Under my nose?

If you want to replace the default announcement, look in
the /usr/share/asterisk/sounds/ directory for files like vm-intro.gsm.

Alternatively you can record a file and place it as "unavailable
greeting" for all your voiceboxes instead of recording announcements for
each single voicebox by dropping a file "unavail.wav"
in /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/${VOICEBOXCONTEXT}/${VOICEBOXNUMBER}/
for all possible combinations of VOICEBOXCONTENT and VOICEBOXNUMBER
