[cisco-voip] Unity Broadcast Messages

[Pat Hayes]

I think that the things both of you are looking for are not only 
possible, but, in fact, the only option with broadcast messages. The 
original request, to only play for users once, as far as I know, is the 
only option for broadcast messaging:

"When a subscriber has finished playing a system broadcast message, the 
message can either be replayed or permanently deleted."

I take that to mean that, after you listen to the message, the user 
either listens to it again or deletes it. They can't save it because the 
message is not actually in their mailbox. Nowhere does the documentation 
say they'll keep being forced to listen to the message after the first 
time. The same doc the quote you provided also says:

"System broadcast messages do not light message waiting indicators 
(MWIs) on subscriber phones.."
