Crossposting while logged out

Title:
Crossposting while logged out

Area:
Crossposting

Summary:
Create a setting so that if a particular journal is set to crosspost by default, posting while logged out or logged in as another account will still cause the journal to crosspost.

Description:
Currently, when posting while logged out or while logged in to a different account, journals set to crosspost to another service will not crosspost automatically. If the user then wants to crosspost, they have to log out, log into the other account, and manually edit the post to crosspost. This reduces the utility of the post-while-logged-out option, since the user has to log out and back in in order to crosspost.

For example:

1. birdaccount is set to automatically crosspost to an LJ mirror

2. user is logged into dogaccount, but posts to birdaccount using the "switch accounts" feature on the update page

3. birdaccount does not automatically crosspost

4. user has to log out of dogaccount and then into birdaccount to manually edit the post to crosspost to LJ, defeating the point of posting while logged out

I would love it if automatic crossposting settings for an account were respected no matter how the post to the account is made, so that

1. birdaccount is set to automatically crosspost to an LJ mirror

2. user is logged into dogaccount, or not logged in at all, but posts to birdaccount

3. birdaccount automatically crossposts to the LJ mirror

This would make it far easier to switch between DW journals while maintaining mirrors to other sites, without having to set up two browsers or constantly log in and out.
