I suspect that a typical non-user of Arabic would find Arabic script more desirable than boxes or punycode. That's something usability folks can test. Personally, if I were expecting an email from an Arabic-scripting colleague, it would make a big difference to me.

In my (mostly non-Microsoft) experience, any system that handles Unicode will show Arabic as Arabic. What it won't do is to handle messy cases like combined roman and Arabic, nor will it have a usable input method. But it shouldn't show boxes.
