Hi Galila.  I hope you are well.

If you use Windows, you can do email in Arabic (just as you can in  
English).
You can also send attachments with email.
For these functions, you don't need to purchase any programs.

Concerning "teaching through the web", I need to know what you are  
thinking about to be able to respond.

Waheed

Dear Galila,

It is easy to write Arabic on your computer and email attachments.
Your recipient should also be Arabic enabled or using the same
program you are utilizing to produce the Arabic text. As we say,
in Arabic, "you cannot applaud with one hand".

Installing Arabic fonts on the PC may not necessarily enable the
user to write Arabic. I have few suggestions that are commercially
available at the AramediA Website.

1- MS Windows 2000/XP is multilingual and available along with MS
Arabic Word or Office 2000/XP. This is the Arabic version, meaning the
Spellchecker is included also. Since Outlook is part of the above ,
email should not be a problem for neither you nor your students.

2- Get MS Arabic Windows 98 Upgrading the English version and
Arabic Word or Office 2000/XP. All of MS Arabic software is bilingual
(English and Arabic):

3- Universal Word 2000 ML-1 Arabic Languages/English Word Processor.
You may cut and paste Arabic text into MS English Word, or compose
both texts (English and Arabic) on the same page with UW 2000, it is
also UNICODE compliant.

ML1, Arabic Languages: Arabic, Azeri-Arabic, English,
Farsi, Malay-Jawi, Pashto, Urdu, Transliteration, Int'l Phonetic.

UW 2000 will work with your English or any Windows, it does not
require an Arabic Operating System like MS Arabic Windows:

Arabic/English PS-2/AT/USB Keyboard is available.
Arabic/English Keyboard Stickers for either Laptop
or Desktop are available also:

Please contact me, if you have any questions.

Best Regards,
