Nisus and Mellel can produce .doc as you have stated. I have opened such files in Macintosh before and haven't shared them with Widnows as far as I can remember. I have used the import filter in Adobe InDesign to import such files, it worked fine as if I was importing a genuine MS Word document.

Once again, I used to use Netscape then Thunderbird for a number of years, they used to handle incoming and created Arabic messages 90% accurately. I just switched to Mail recently when I upgraded my Mac to Leopard.
Apple's Mail handle Arabic much better than Thunderbird, but I miss many non-language related powerful features that where available in Netscape and Thunderbird.
