Once there was this option to disable html email and just send plain text. It doesn't seem to exist any longer on the web interface...
Anyway, here is the patch as an attachment

This allows for a main loop that also wait on other file descriptors, signals and a timeout. Unfortunataly, the mouse cannot be included in this select because the _mouse_fd field of the SCREEN structure is private.

But this solution seems awkward to me, especially considering that STDIN_FILENO is instead always available to the application, and compared with having a function like getmousefd() that returns _mouse_fd.
