class MailThread(models.AbstractModel):
    ''' mail_thread model is meant to be inherited by any model that needs to
        act as a discussion topic on which messages can be attached. Public
        methods are prefixed with ``message_`` in order to avoid name
        collisions with methods of the models that will inherit from this class.

        ``mail.thread`` defines fields used to handle and display the
        communication history. ``mail.thread`` also manages followers of
        inheriting classes. All features and expected behavior are managed
        by mail.thread. Widgets has been designed for the 7.0 and following
        versions of Odoo.

        Inheriting classes are not required to implement any method, as the
        default implementation will work for any model. However it is common
        to override at least the ``message_new`` and ``message_update``
        methods (calling ``super``) to add model-specific behavior at
        creation and update of a thread when processing incoming emails.

        Options:
            - _mail_flat_thread: if set to True, all messages without parent_id
                are automatically attached to the first message posted on the
                resource. If set to False, the display of Chatter is done using
                threads, and no parent_id is automatically set.

    MailThread features can be somewhat controlled through context keys :

     - ``mail_create_nosubscribe``: at create or message_post, do not subscribe
       uid to the record thread
     - ``mail_create_nolog``: at create, do not log the automatic '<Document>
       created' message
     - ``mail_notrack``: at create and write, do not perform the value tracking
       creating messages
     - ``tracking_disable``: at create and write, perform no MailThread features
       (auto subscription, tracking, post, ...)
     - ``mail_notify_force_send``: if less than 50 email notifications to send,
       send them directly instead of using the queue; True by default
