Text-to-Speech Does Not Play Name in From Field

When subscribers listen to their e-mail messages by using the Cisco Unity phone conversation, there are instances when the text-to-speech (TTS) feature does not "read" the name in the From field to subscribers. If the message is from someone who is not a Cisco Unity subscriber, the Cisco Unity conversation does not state who sent the message. However, when a message is from a Cisco Unity Subscriber, the Cisco Unity conversation plays the name (if one is recorded) or the extension for that subscriber. This design provides better TTS performance.

For more information, refer to caveat CSCdx95644. See the "Known and Resolved Problems" section for information about locating caveats.
