Turning off the cross-poster when posting via email

Title:
Turning off the cross-poster when posting via email

Area:
crossposting, email posting

Summary:
Create the ability to stop the crossposter crossposting when posting via email.

Description:
When you post via the create post web page, you are able to disable the crossposter for that specific entry, (and if you have multiple accounts you can turn off specific accounts). It would be really good to have this functionality when posting via email. You can of course, already set icon, mood, music, comments and security with a line within the body of the email - hopefully it wouldn't be too hard to have a line that would either turn off the crossposter totally, or turn of specific accounts.

Oh hmm. You know, I just remembered that posting via email doesn't crosspost currently. But this would e good for when that is implemented.

[zarhooie]

Doesn't it? I thought Mark (see also: coders, for values of Mark) had fixed that.

[afuna]

Not yet; it's going to be fixed whenever we let people post from clients. But there were a few complications with that bug; I expect it'll be done at some point soonish, but it's not currently possible.

With changes: optionally allow either of crosspost=on or crosspost=off, or use journal default if omitted. (in other words, allow one-time enabling as well as one-time disabling)

[cheyinka]

Yes, this is good - whatever you set as default, you should be able to choose differently at posting time.
