I assumed before that signatures are free-form and therefore unfindable algorithmically, but that seems to be a mistake on my part. If that's the case, the mechanism can be grafted into org-footnote.el, perhaps with an expanded meaning of org-footnote-placement: in addition to nil or a string, it can be a symbol, say 'before-signature, and that can be set in an appropriate mail composition hook.

Didn't check that for some month now... Yes, I've just tried that. Create a file with footnotes, save it, kill the buffer, find it again, add another footnote, and it starts numbering from [1] again.

Well, I don't have a strong opinion on that. But currently org-footnote.el is not very good when writing mails, because it places footnotes at the end of a buffer. If there's a signature, then footnotes are in that and likely to be removed by people replying to your mail.

Re: [Orgmode] Difference between org-footnote.el and footnote.el
[ ... ] Oh, I was pretty sure that org-footnote.el is only a wrapper around the original footnote.el that comes with emacs, but looking at the code it seems to be a completely separate facility. It says to have "better support for resuming editing" than footnote.el but be less configurable. Can someone enlighten my what is meant with that better support for resuming editing? I mean, footnote.el already provides automatic renumbering which is the only special feature I can imagine to be of great use when resuming to edit a footnoted document... Bye, Tassilo Hi Tassilo, common footnote.el was never able to detect if a file opened has already footnote inside. Didn't check that for some month now... Also org-footnote implemented labeled footnotes, very useful to avoid clashes with forms like list[1] BTW suggest to replace the common footnote by the org's footnotes, remove the prefix then, leave some aliases in org-mode for backward-compatibility. cc to emacs-devel for this.
