6.1 email_template when i make a html_template it don't work

[walter salzmann]

When i make a html-template and want to sent, for example from sale_order, it don't work.
The subtype that is always in the mail is plain and not html.
I have tested it on the current branch of openerp6.1.

I was trying to debug this bug with the limited knowledge of OpenERP I have. Might be useful information for someone to fix.

To give a context, the variable mail.subtype controls whether the mail should go out as plain text or html. The template when created, sets the right value of mail.subtype ('html'). When you compose a mail using the template in the wizard, the variable still has the right value (as observed in debug view).

However, I debugged the send_mail function in addons/mail/wizard/mail_compose_message.py, and it looks like the mail.subtype element had been set to 'text' instead of 'html'. Somewhere between clicking "Send Button" and the program control reaching "send_mail", the value has been altered from 'html' to 'text'.

I am not sure what causes this change in variable value. My first hypothesis was that the variable has been changed while creating a copy of the mail object. I tried putting debug points in the copy functions but without fail.

For now, I have just hacked the code to convert the value of mail.subtype in code, but I am looking for cleaner solution.
