Are these 3 extra lines added for each time the message is forwarded?  i.e. is this a potential waste of 3 bytes per forward, or just an inconvenient 3 extra lines?

I'm tempted to just close this with a "Won't Fix" unless you can come up with a good reason why we'd spend any time on this.

Well, the reason that I submitted this was that FreePBX ARI could not display the voicemails as it does not expect those lines. I have since then fixed that issue so that we handle it in ARI instead.

The extra lines only get inserted when prepending a message, if you just forward the voicemail it is OK, no extra lines.

Feel free to close as "Won't Fix".
