What do you mean, Australia is moving? Where's it going?
(not an asterisk) Which footnote style do you prefer? Are we breaking out the Chicago Manual of Style? APA? MLA?
You make the rules here, Skip. You always have.

It's moving northward, and rotating slightly clockwise. This isn't new. Australia has recalibrated its international coordinates four times in the past fifty years, and it looks like they'll do it again soon. Maybe this year.
(not an asterisk but still structurally annoying) There are no easy footnote mechanisms in email. So if you have something to say, put it in the body of the email.

Are we talking inches here? Or miles?
In the body of the email: My wife is a nerd and I fucking love it.
Also in the body of the email: What's the status of that internet service at your apartment? I want to see your sweet face while you drop the nerdy science talk on me.

A little more than 2.5 inches per year. It adds up. From what I hear, the next GPS update will be around 1.5 kilometers.
