How do you feel about command-line tools? I've got a clumsy shell script that I keep meaning to get around to perfecting and polishing, that invokes (a slightly modified version of) the Clive client to do the posting. It takes a text file (HTML now but I can make that a switch) as input for the entry body[*], and any other data (e.g. subject, icon, community) as command-line arguments. If that sounds like something you'd use, let's start talking about what features you'd want and I'll see whether I know how to implement 'em.
If you're specifically looking for a GUI client/crossposter, I won't take it as an affront, but I also regrettably won't have much clue. (A long, long time ago, I saw Clive listed at the very bottom of the LJ stats page with something like four users. The last few times I've looked at stats pages for any of the *J sites that publish them, Clive didn't even make the list despite my posting at least once each day with it to each site. So I get the impression that most people don't want to use a command-line client.)
[*] Clive will invoke the editor of your choice with an empty buffer if you don't give it an input-redirect, but making my auto-crossposting script, which calls Clive multiple times, do that, will require a little front-end coding that I haven't needed to do for myself and thus haven't gotten around to.
