+@cindex fortune cookies
+The Fortune package uses the @code{fortune} program to create signatures
+for mail or network news messages.  (@code{fortune} prints a
+random---with luck, interesting---adage, originally inspired by `fortune
+cookie' messages.)  It also allows you automatically to cut regions to a
+Fortune file with @kbd{M-x fortune-from-region} and compile your own
+Fortune database.  To generate signatures, add
+@code{fortune-to-signature} to @code{mail-setup-hook} and/or
+@code{message-setup-hook} as appropriate.

+@findex footnote-mode
+@kbd{M-x footnote-mode} toggles a minor mode for making footnotes in
+mail or network news messages.  It is intended for use specifically with
+Message mode but is not specific to that.  It provides commands and
+keybindings to insert footnotes, go to a given note, delete a note and
+renumber notes.  See the group @code{footnote} for customization and the
+mode's documentation for keybindings.  To set up Footnote mode for all
+messages, add @code{footnote-mode} to @code{mail-mode-hook} and/or
+@code{message-mode-hook} as appropriate.
