Keep the Old SI!!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!!!

The new Classic Option is a slight improvement over the "New" SI, but it does a miserable job with fonts.

In contrast, the Old SI does a beautiful job of scaling fonts. I have vision problems, so I use Arial Rounded MT Bold for my default web page font. It kicks in whenever a web page (such as the Old SI) does not specify which font to use. This works great for me in the old SI.

I do not have this set as an over-ride font, because most web sites that specify the font do a good job and I want to get the fonts they specify. The New SI and New Classic SI both have completely bungled the font handling by forcing in tiny fonts in the subject and message lists, so I'm stuck with something that is very difficult and painful for me to read. Furthermore, the New Classic SI perpetuates the goofy run-together message list format that is so hard to read in the New SI.

Please fix these problems before turning off the Old SI!!! Otherwise I'll be spending more of my web time on Yahoo and less on SI.
