asterisk users - Jan 2008 - Voicemail - is it possible to automatically use the extension being dialed from?

Hi,

Is it possible to dial voicemail from a particular phone line and
automatically enter the extension that is being dialed from, thereby only
prompting for the password?

I've been searching around to find if this is possible, but I haven't
been
able to find an example of this. I have a feeling it's more of a endpoint
function, but I thought I'd ask if anyone has accomplished this with
Asterisk.

Thanks!

VoicemailMain(${CALLERID(number)}) is probably what you want.

Hah, thanks guys. I had tried that previously, but my syntax was off.
