There is a variable (of course!): ,---- | org-footnote-auto-label is a variable defined in `org-footnote.el'. | Its value is t | | Documentation: | Non-nil means define automatically new labels for footnotes. | Possible values are: | | nil prompt the user for each label | t create unique labels of the form [fn:1], [fn:2], ... | confirm like t, but let the user edit the created value. In particular, | the label can be removed from the minibuffer, to create | an anonymous footnote. | plain Automatically create plain number labels like [1] | | You can customize this variable. `---- but how to use it in the way you specify is left as an exercise for the interested reader. > Also in my case, the footnotes appear below the signature.

At least the end is a well defined place that org-footnote-action can always find. The rest are shifting sands. Of course, if you use a nice primitive mailer[1] where *you* do all the placement the way *you* like it, that's no problem at all. I can add all the footnotes I want, then M-> C-c C-s, done (that is, if I *had* a signature, which I don't - and M-> is always right, since I (almost) never top-post).
