No, it's a hack, not a real method. And silly since the patch is ONE line in mod_voicemail.
If the user discards their VM it will be long but no message. If that extension has a long VM message, then comparatively it's harder to see how long a VM is. There's no need for a hack here...

With a patch still in http://jira.freeswitch.org/browse/FS-3797 ... mod_voicemail can save to the channel variables voicemail_message_len how long the actual VM is if one has been saved.
Thanks Moc for holding my hand to write this tiny change.

It has not been committed yet.
