You could do it on your own: just start a new mailing list somewhere else,
then subscribe it to unicode@unicode.org as a post-only member. You can do
such a thing by sending an email like this:
TO: unicode-request@unicode.org
SUBJECT: subscribe
subscribe uniarabic@egroups.com unicode
disable uniarabic@egroups.com unicode
Where "uniarabic@egroups.com" is your hypothetical new list, and "disable"
tells the Unicode server not to send unicode@unicode.org messages to your
list.
What should happen, is that unicode@unicode.org members will see all posts
to the uniarabic@egroups.com, but uniarabic@egroups.com members will not see
other unicode@unicode.org messages.
Some drawbacks are:
1) uniarabic@egroups.com members won't even see replies to their own message
from unicode@unicode.org, unless you allow non-members to post on the your
list (but this exposes you to spam), and unicode@unicode.org members bother
to CC the uniarabic@egroups.com when talking about Arabic script.
2) People joining both mailing lists may receive double messages.
3) You miss Arabic-related discussion on unicode@unicode.org, unless someone
bothers to forward them to uniarabic@egroups.com.
4) And other problems that only Sarasvati can anticipate...
