That seems to me to be a very good question.  I struggled for quite
a while to find an answer and was unable to.  The "\footnotemark"
seems to get defined differently when \maketitle is invoked (in
which case it uses the footnote symbols produced by \fnsymbol{}),
from the way it is defined in "ordinary" contexts (in which case it
uses digits).

I am surprised that none of the gurus who contribute to this list have
responded to this question.  I suspect that the answer would be very
easy for them! :-)

cheers,
