Any movement involving a change to the font universe will necessarily start slowly. To deliver sarcastic text in any electronic format requires that the font is installed on the viewers machine or that it's delivered as an image as below.
This means when you use a sarcastic font in a rich text or html format e-mail you need to attach the font file. Below is some boilerplate text you can copy and paste at the top of your e-mails to encourage people to both install and distribute.
It doesn't stop with e-mail though. Send your favorite sarcastic font to your instant messaging buddies. Use them on your web sites and blogs and link back here. Be creative and let us know how it goes.
E-Mail Boilerplate Text
This e-mail contains the use of sarcasm. In order to receive the full effect of the sarcasm it is recommended that you install the attached Sarcastic Font file(s). For font installation instructions please visit http://www.glennmcanally.com/sarcastic/installation.htm. Please attach a Sarcastic Font to your e-mails and make sure your own sarcasm is understood.

This is my first rendition of a Sarcastic font. It's rough, but we'll soon find a new recruit to do a cleaner job.
