What I see is that Drupal, Wordpress, and basically every blog/cms I know of is implicitly designed for author(s) who publish (very) short texts, only once in a while.

I will try to hack mailhandler now (already asked privately for suggestions to the maintainer, hope he'll answer).
answer just arrived:
mailhandler is not suited for your needs, and i don't know of a script that is. sorry.
Bah...

Some thoughts off the top of my head:
It might be just as easy to create a small command line program that knows how to talk to the blog API, and since there are open source clients that already do that, there is even sample code to look at. Maybe one of those clients can even be run from the command line, I don't know.
I can certainly see the need for what you are doing. In an ideal world, everybody would use their favorite text editor / word processor to write everything, and it would interface to everything else each user needed to send that text to.
Good luck and let us know what you come up with.
