Mailing lists (mail.group) should not send specific notification emails.
Indeed there can be a lot of recipients and customizing each email can
take time to compute. This leads to posting a message on a mail.group
being very slow.
It is now possible for a model to customize the notification email
recipients computation. The first use is to ensure that mail.group
encodes recipients using email_to instead of recipients_ids. This way
less processing is performed on notification emails.
This avoids storing useless "{}" values
in the database when there are no headers,
and avoids having to update all existing
entries when this column is added.
Just requires simple tests before evaluating
the headers contents.
Many mail clients will replace the name in the To:
header with Me if the To: email matches the email
of the user. These users will see To: Me instead of
"Followers of ..." and usually believe this was a
private email from the sender to them.
But when replying they would reply to the whole list.
Fix this by explicitly forcing the To: to be the
mailing list address.
A squashed merge is required as the conversion of the apiculture branch from
bzr to git was not correctly done. The git history contains irrelevant blobs
and commits. This branch brings a lot of changes and fixes, too many to list
exhaustively.
- New orm api, objects are now used instead of ids
- Environements to encapsulates cr uid context while maintaining backward compatibility
- Field compute attribute is a new object oriented way to define function fields
- Shared browse record cache
- New onchange protocol
- Optional copy flag on fields
- Documentation update
- Dead code cleanup
- Lots of fixes
- added possibility in mail to have a model adding custom headers in emails sent for notifications for new messages
- mail.group now add list-id and precedence: list in the headers to inform mailing systems that those mails are to be considered as mailing lists
- website_mail_group adds some further data in the headers (subscribe, unsubscribe, archives)
- groups page now display the number of message in the last month
- notification emails are now queued after 50 recipients
The delete-rule was initially set to `cascade` in revision
6897.16.13 revid:odo@openerp.com-20120705141706-5gm5mmqode3bvkuc
because the ORM would not allow anything else for the FK of
an _inherits relationship.
This constraint was later lifted in 7.0 server at revision
4681 revid:odo@openerp.com-20121212210247-emrz5rf9ewcwdggu
so we can now switch to the intended default behavior:
when deleting mail aliases we never want to cascade delete
the child records, as that could lead to unwanted deletions.
On the other hand the aliases are automatically deleted when
the record they belong to is deleted, as a kind of internal
dependency. This is the intended safe way to delete them.
There is a special case when the same alias is manually set
on multiple records, in which case you will not be able to
delete any of those records. This is an acceptable exception
and should be manually handled if ever needed, by temporarily
linking the records to delete to new dummy aliases.

The parent record is the record that holds the alias. It is different
from the record updated or created using the alias. For example
projects have aliases whose parent is the given projet, and that creates
new task inside the project.
Updated alias creation and management accordingly.
This ownership concept is used to compute the 'followers' contact
settings of aliases.

alias_name is not required anymore
crm, hr_job, project, mail_group, res_users: alias creation is now different
and done more like other inherits, except an alias_model_name that is given
to the context to find the alias alias_model_id.
crm, jr_job, project, mail_group, res_users: updated form views using
aliases
mail_alias: added a filter on 'inactive' aliases (alias_name False) and
added a button to redirect to the related document if any
bzr revid: tde@openerp.com-20130409111158-bv04n5o01z9l3c17
mail groups now displays all messages (removed 'Unread' filter).
It also displays a composition box, not 'Send a message or Log a note'
as the purpose of a mail.group is to share with other members.
