Multitask better when uploading attachments #134

Reported by Mathias:

Uploading big mail attachements halts the entire computer.

I discovered that uploading big mail attachements blocks the complete Mac. I 
began to switch to Classillas mail for using every Classilla funktion for 
veryfing my translation. At synchronizing my huge IMAP mailboxes I was really 
happy. Even the 1GB folders are synchronized in background without any problems.

Only saving a draft, or uploading an attachement blocks the whole mac. Maybe 
this is a restriction of the MacOS or of the IMAP protocol, but maybe it is a 
simple thing to fix? It is strange, that uploading causes the computer to stop 
everything else, no other window is selectable etc. Also that can be a real 
limitation if you often send some 20MB files around.

Perhaps we can throw a few GetNextEvent()s into the uploading routine, if it is 
amenable to such things.

The simple EventAvail() changes for issue 135 won't work here, since those 
don't allow the app to be backgrounded (which is what Mathias is specifically 
asking for).
