Yes, it would be better if Emacs remembered the user's choice. Ted
plans to rewrite the auth-source.el interface, and if I remember
correctly, that was one of the things auth-source.el was going to
handle. Although it's still unclear where this should be stored or in
what format. Ideally, it'd allow for, say, storing the user name, but
not the password for IMAP, but allow storing both for NNTP, for
instance.
