asterisk users - Dec 2007 - Unified Messaging On Thin Client / Terminal Server

I would like to get Unified Messaging working in a Thin Client /  
Terminal Server environment.  What I would like to happen: when a user  
gets a voice-mail, Asterisk sends an email with a Voicemail-URL that  
notifies the person they have a message.  When they click that from  
their Remote-Desktop / RDP / Thin Client session, that sends a message  
via HTTP to Asterisk to play the voicemail on the user's phone  
(Preferably with no other buttons needing to be pushed).  The idea is  
that playing the voicemail over the Thin Client / RDP session won't  
work or will provide poor sound quality, but instead, to use the VOIP  
Network on a digital phone to play the message.

Does this exist?  Does it make sense?  Is it possible to do?

Thanks for your assistance!

Or maybe:

The thin client should have a soft-phone with a "voicemail"
indicator/button.

Why would the thin client be unable to provide a good experience doing 
that?  If it was going to provide poor sound quality due to network 
latency for example, wouldn't it stand to reason that the display would 
be garbled or slow to respond as well? Just a thought.  And would using 
the VOIP phone lighten the need for network resources?
