Title:
post-security in email posting doesn't use DW language but should

Area:
Email posting

Summary:
When posting by email, most post-security tags fit with Dreamwidth's terminology, except for the access list option. This should be changed.

Description:
When posting access locked entries by email, I would expect to use "post-security: access", but according to the further instructions page found off the mobile tab of my account settings, the command is actually "post-security: friends", which is old LJ language. I think that it should be updated to reflect DW speak.

Obviously, to keep backwards compatibility/email crossposting, "lj-security: friends" should remain.

ETA: yvi has pointed out in comments that what I'm asking for exists, but is improperly documented, so just ignore my post :-)

Actually, post-access should work, it's just teh documentation that needs updating.

I'd make both synonyms, so I can post by email on several LJish sites at once.

That's what I meant by the backwards compatibility comment; all the lj-security/lj-mood/lj-music headers still exist, so I was saying that lj-security: friends should exist for those who want to crosspost by email, but that post-security: access should exist for those who only want to post to DW, as it makes more sense.

As it turns out, it actually does, though, rendering my suggestion a not-suggestion - it's just that the documentation is wrong.
