Steps to reproduce:
On Odoo:
- Install `Documents` module
- Go to `Settings` and set a Custom Email Server(ex. `mydomain.com`)
- Ensure an alias exist for the model `document.document` with `inbox-financial` as alias name
In mail client:
- Send a mail with an image in the body to the following email: inbox-financial@mydomain.com
Issue:
Mail not received (traceback in logs)
Cause:
Since we use the email alias `inbox-financial`, we process the mail
through the `document.document` model where we have an override of the
`_message_post_after_hook` method that is called after that the
`msg_values` values are post-processed and where we do another
message_post() for the new document create for the attachment (in
this case, an image).

During the parsing, the mail values are updated through the
`_process_attachments_for_post` method:
https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/6c0d2d7a9d44459f3e09a38bd80ef9b018e8c946/addons/mail/models/mail_thread.py#L1881-L1904
On posting the first time, the original type of the `body` value is a
`str`, but the post-processed value (because there is some CIDS in the
body) is of type `bytes` (because using `encoding='UTF-8'` with
`lxml.html.tostring`).
https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/510a997017a9cbe14522a0013a578f6d1d9b257a/addons/mail/models/mail_thread.py#L2209
Then in the `_message_post_after_hook` we call post again on the
newly created document record by using post-processed value of body
who is of type `bytes`.
On posting the second time (for the document record), the `body`
value is of type `bytes` and when checking if the body is empty with
`is_html_empty` that received a string as param, an error is
raised.
Solution:
Use `encoding='unicode'` to return a string instead of bytes.
