[cisco-voip] Mask caller ID of some message senders in Unity Connection Single inbox

I'm glad it's working for you but I'm curious how it works. Modifying
calling number on the SIP trunk to CUC will work as you describe for a
forwarded call scenario but will break a direct call when a user pushes
Messages button on the phone. I did testing on 11.5 and it most definitely
was using info on the User Basics page for single inbox. Maybe you have
forward to email instead of Single Inbox? CUC does use the number and name
received over SIP trunk for single inbox but only if it didn't find the
number in the database, like it would be the case for PSTN calls.
