[CentOS] help with RewriteRule regexp

Hmmm, maybe I spoke too soon, why the second test didn't match isn't obvious to me (unless Apache regex is different from grep).

And it won't if 'http://webmail.domain' is the actual text, the ^ says "at the start of the line" (in other words, 'webmail\.' must start in character position 1).  Choices: Remove the caret and accept the consequence that all references to "webmail\." will be changed or determine how to re-write (pardon the pun) the rule to narrow the scope to (such as) ^http://webmail\.  (http:// at the beginning of the line).  I'm not familiar with Apache regex implementation so I can't say that it will accept the construct I supplied, hopefully someone else can speak to that.

I tried:

          RewriteRule ^webmail\.|/webmail 
https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]

But that does not rewrite for http://webmail.domain
