Once you have the font installed on the target machine I have
demonstrated on WinXP SP1 with Outlook 2002 you simply have to send an
email with some text formatted with the restarter.otf font and the
machine will reboot once you scroll down to that part of the message
either through opening it or via the preview pane of Outlook.

I suppose that IE's 'automatic font download' support (which is on by
default) would exacerbate this problem, correct?
