Look into the encoding that is being used in the varlous applications
(or websites) that are not displaying Arabic correctly.  They might be
hardcoded to use values like us-ascii or similar.  To be safe, you should
always use UTF-8 in all your correspondance and tell those that mail you
to do the same.  Experiement a bit in that area and I'm sure something
will resolve - report back when that happens so that others might benefit.

Hope that helps.
