That makes sense. The part I don't understand is why I get the dialog
EVERY TIME I reboot (probably relogin, not sure). If the authorization is
only good for that session, I can understand that, but then it shouldn't
use the word "always". This isn't just Mail, Safari and other Keychain
apps do the same thing.
