EGADS! what is your client doing for quoting? who is it replying to ?
This is the most confusing quoting method i have seen ;)

hmm, Jeff's method is actually simpler, and your rewrite has the same
limitations, cgi's that self refer will have a bogus server path ;0

Also, pointing one site into another sites directory causes interesting
permissions problems after you run out of admin users with shared
privileges anyhow....sigh

for all that work, you could as easily just make a directory, which is all
i bother doing these days, since everything lives on the same partition on
the raq's it's trivial to mv the entire site to it's new home later...

ps: What happens if you access
www.originaldomain.com/newsite/admin/users/mail/inbox ? tsk tsk
