Another way is to use youmail (http://www.youmail.com).  It's free, and
you can put contacts into groups (e.g., friends, family, doctors, and so
on), add specific greetings for those groups, etc.  For example, for my
group called doctors, I have a greeting from the community greetings
that's Bugs Bunny saying, "ehhh, what's up doc?"....  You can use the
community greetings (users upload their own grettings,and allow them
to be used by others) or you can upload your own (and either keep them
private or add to community greetings).  They also have a (paid) option
where you can have your voice messages sent to you in text format.

I get my voice messages as e-mail and on my Android (youmail app).
The messages are sent via e-mail in mp3 format.

You can also ditch numbers that you don't ever want to hear from, like
spam callers.  You can apply a special ditch greeting, too.  Mine is,
in the usual telco message voice, "Hello, welcome to AT&T wireless voice
mail.  Goodbye" and then the caller is hung up on.  There are also
special options for blocked caller ID and caller ID unavailable, if you
choose to use them.

I've been a youmail user for years, and I highly recommend it.

OB Mutt:  Does anyone remember what year it was when Mutt was at a
version number somewhere around 0.86?  I know it was in the mid-90s,
but I'm curious to know, so I can know just how many years I've
been using Mutt.

Later,
