When sending the test email of a mass mailing campaign, it might be
observed that the result is different from the final email sent to
customers.
This is because the `body` field of the final mail message is an `Html`
field with options `sanitize_style=True` and `strip_classes=True`. On
the other hand, the `body_html` field the test mail is a simple `Text`
field which is not sanitized.
We sanitize the `body_html` field with similar options.

When you send a mass mailing to muiltiple partner, if some of them have
no email adresse, it can lead to errors because of the variable 'recips'
is not set if the first occurence in the 'for loop' has no email.
To fix this, we always set the variable 'recips' by replacing the 'elif'
close by a 'else' one

Before this commit, the filtering brought by commit ca989b6 did not work when
no email_to was present. Which is the case for mass-mailings based on
res.partner records.

Closes#16745
The mass-mailing App suffered from severe issues due to its inability
to detect and handle duplicates "at the email level", and the absence
of any global blacklist system, leading to lack of user trust.
Mailing-lists typically include multiple records with the same email,
and it is critical to avoid sending them the same email several times.
A related problem is the unsubscription of an email that is present
in other records (duplicates). Opting out the first email should
automatically blacklist it for other records as well.
Ideally we should have a global blacklist table in order to
share the unsubscription requests globally across models (Leads,
Partners, Mailing-list contacts). It would also allow importing
it from other blacklist systems. (TODO for master)
This commit introduces a partial solution, made of several
small changes:
- In mail.mail: double-check that an outgoing email has the
correct status (`outgoing`) before sending it. This allows
adding emails in the queue and cancelling them before they
actually get sent.
- In crm.lead: force predictable recipients for mass-mailing,
by always using the email of the lead rather than the email
of the linked partner when there is one. This simplifies the
computation of the blacklist and seen list. Other areas in
the codebase already assume as much.
- In mass.mailing:
+ Before sending out a mailing-list batch, compute the
blacklist (all opted-out emails) and the seen_list
(emails who previously received this mail) to make
sure we only ever target valid recipients.
+ While delivering the mass-mailing, any email targeting
an address that is in the blacklist or "seen list" is
canceled before being sent. The corresponding statistics
entry is considered "not delivered".
Also updates the "seen list" continuously.
+ When a mass-mail belongs to a campaign with the
"unique AB/B testing" flag, the "seen list" is
common to the whole campaign, as an extra safety.
+ Auto-delete mass-mailing test messages sent with the
test wizard, to avoid polluting the mail_mail table
Note: this fix uses a simple regex for efficiently extracting
the blacklist in pure SQL from different models, and doing so,
assumes that each record only holds a single email
(no comma-separated adresses). This should be sufficient for
most cases. The regex:
([^ ,;<@]+@[^> ,;]+)
The test wizard will be dropped eventually but it is not possible to delete
the mass-mailing before the transient is cleaned too due to the required field.
To make it faster, add a ondelete cascade on the field.
Closes#15217
When using the "Test Mailing" button, a sample mail was sent to a
particular mail address and a text-like unsubscribe link was added
below the mail body. This link was ugly, ununderstandable and useless
as it is test mailing anyway.
To add unsubscribe links to your mail body, use the footer blocks
which contain this kind of link (note: they are inserted by default
in all mail templates).
When testing a mass mailing before sending the mailing
to the contacts (which well, is always the case),
the local links were not replaced by absolute links,
and the override done on the method `send_get_email_dict`
to convert the link `/unsubscribe_from_list` to the actual
unsubscription link was not working, as it relied
on the absolute link.

1. The merge of the "email_template" module into the "mail" module.
2. The send action of the mass mailing has been moved from the frontend to a cron, because it was too slow to send over 10,000 mails (the user's browser was blocked for 15 - 20 minutes). Mass mailings have now their own process in the kanban view.
3. Mails sent from the mail form are sent immediatly instead of from the mail queue (for instance, when you go to sales > customers > list view > select 2 -3 customers > More > Partner Mass Mailing).
4. Users have now the choice from which mailing list they want to unsubscribe when they click on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the mail.
5. Mass mailings inherit from their campaign UTMs and mass mailing campaigns are linked to an UTM campaign.
6. Many little improvements
* [FIX] rename wrong mailing_type field and add missing fields when creating a mass mailing from the composer
* [FIX] coerce tooltip to an unicode string to avoid a json crash when locale produces a non unicode string for strftime(%B)
* [FIX] repair wrong sql statement computing statistics
- fixed keeping the original message for routing, only when choosing to reply in the
original thread (notification=True)
- auto delete sent emails explicitely
- mail_thread: routing: fixed replies always choosen even when replying to emails
with a specified reply_to (using ref_match in the algorithm)
- mail_thread: routing: instead of exclusive routing heuristics, use each case
as a fallback of the previous.
- mail: now trigger postprocess_sent_message in every case, being sent or not, as the state
is propagated in the method; udpated all addons accordingly;
- email_template: fixed URL to edit it in website + form view;
- mass_mailing: barchart now send jsonified value;
- mass_mailing: tweaking the form view with all options

- now body_html is a right field on mass_mailing, editable using the website
- email_designer controller / template now works on everything that has a body
receiving its model and res_id as post parameters; it does not work only on
email tempaltes anymore
- cleaning of the mass mailing form view: reply_to managment option (either
replied go into the document, either there is a specified reply_to; it is implemented
using boolean fields instead of a selection because all options are not available
for all models ... models like contact or partner do not have a chatter or
shoudl be be used for a chatter-like use)
- send to all now instantiates a mail.compose.message; the mass mailign processing
is delegated to the wizard itself.

and better managemetn from the mass mailing form view (still WIP).
Also integrated basic statbutton, but they have to be improved.

that calls a new wizard, allowing to select contacts/customers/leads and create a new
mailing list.
Also updated default values in action 'create mailing list' for contact, customer and leads.
Also removed minimal form view on list, using only one view, with technical fields put
in group_no_one.

- from mass_mailing, creating or editing a template now goes through a wizard to avoid
tweaking too much the email.template view. This allows an easier management of templates
and their link with mailings.
- moved email.template minimal form view from email_tmeplate to mass_mailing, because it
is the sole module to use it. Tweaked it a bit by the way.
- removed dead code about actions not used anymore in mass_mailing
- empty list help on mail.mass_mailing.list
- various small usability fixes
bzr revid: tde@openerp.com-20140327130827-h9dy2m6mq10gzg1s
- campaign appear only when having the group activated
- now choosing the mailing name, that create the mailing list + campaign
- currently limited to the valid models
