Consider the following things:

* marking the footnote area with an easy separator. So a hypothetical
  message-footnote-minor-mode could look for [<number>] ... 
  <^separator$> ... [<number>] ... <^separator$> pairs in the text
  and pressing the mouse on one number will take me to the other one
  of the pair and vice versa. For those using balloon-help it would be
  a good idea to stuff the text of the footnote into an balloon-help
  property of the first number (the one in the regular text). If I use
  this feature I can then completely make the footnote text invisible
  (by help of the separator).

* of course these are, as always, just my 0.02 DM (not long
  anymore... only 92 weeks for the Euro to come!)
