When you say per context basis, are you talking about multiple contexts for 
voicemail users?  Or multiple voicemail settings contexts?  app_voicemail only 
reads global settings from a single context - [general].  Hence, global 
settings are only defined in that context.  I'm assuming by "fromstring" you 
mean the setting "email".

What would that buy you?  app_voicemail does not expect to read its application 
specific settings from a channel variable.

Yes.

No.  Each mailbox you define in voicemail.conf (or alternatively, users.conf) 
can override settings that were set in the [global] settings context.  This 
includes email, emailbody, and emailsubject (at least in versions 1.8 and 
greater).
