You could do it on your own: just start a new mailing list somewhere else,
then subscribe it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a post-only member. You can do
such a thing by sending an email like this:

        TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        SUBJECT: subscribe
        subscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] unicode
        disable [EMAIL PROTECTED] unicode

Where "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is your hypothetical new list, and "disable"
tells the Unicode server not to send [EMAIL PROTECTED] messages to your
list.

What should happen, is that [EMAIL PROTECTED] members will see all posts
to the [EMAIL PROTECTED], but [EMAIL PROTECTED] members will not see
other [EMAIL PROTECTED] messages.

Some drawbacks are:

1) [EMAIL PROTECTED] members won't even see replies to their own message
from [EMAIL PROTECTED], unless you allow non-members to post on the your
list (but this exposes you to spam), and [EMAIL PROTECTED] members bother
to CC the [EMAIL PROTECTED] when talking about Arabic script.

2) People joining both mailing lists may receive double messages.

3) You miss Arabic-related discussion on [EMAIL PROTECTED], unless someone
bothers to forward them to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

4) And other problems that only Sarasvati can anticipate...
