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. Looks like a bug to me. I'll report it...

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.
Bye,
