IMHO it definitely shouldn't. A global directory of footer files is a
very bad idea -- you might need to put a huge number of footers there
if this directory is supposed to suit all local users.
And since matching various footers against the bottom lines of a given
message is quite a performance-intensive procedure, you should avoid
unnecessary files in your footer directory to keep decent performance.
An even better idea for good performance is using mutt's folder-hooks
for switching between different (much smaller) sets of footer files
(assuming you have your incoming mail sorted into several folders, e.g.
one for each mailing list you get).

As you can see above, it's really a good idea to keep per-user footer
directories (where it should be a piece of cake to add your own hand-
tweaked footer files).
Hope this helps,
and best greetings,
Jochen.
