Allow a lower privacy level when posting

[syderia]

Title:
Allow a lower privacy level when posting

Area:
Posting

Summary:
If a journal's general privacy is defined as "Access Locked", the poster cannot pick "Everyone" as a setting when writing an entry, but has to edit it afterward. I'd like the "Everyone" setting to be accessible when posting the first time.

Description:
Currently, if the general privacy setting of a journal is set at "Access Locked", then it's impossible to make an entry public while writing it.
However, it's possible to make it public while editing it.
The situation is the same with a general setting of "Private".

I suggest that the default setting of the entry being written still be the general setting of the journal (that's after all the point), but that lower security option be available at the time of writing, without having to edit the post.

I've never used Twittine, so can't say, basically if it allows post-by-email then you're good, if not then it's not possible.
