mail.channel doesn't have the normal behavior of mail.thread, but the test are based on mail.channel (which is thus a not so good idea). res.partner is the other model available in mail module, implementing the correct behavior of mail.thread, but trigger AccessError. The tests are commented from now, since TDE and I rewrite the test with a complete module dedicated to the test and implementing the expected behavior of a mail.thread.
