You could simply turn on .shtml for the site and make the index.shtml
page blank except for an include:

<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/webmail/index.html" -->

I haven't tried that, but I think it should work. There's nothing for
the GUI to do a redirect though. A .htaccess with a rewrite would
probably do the trick as well, or a symlink probably could do the trick.

Does anyone know why a <META http_equiv="refresh" content="0.URL"> causes
a loop on a Raq? On other boxes I've used this method to "redirect" from
one page to a different page. Note; the META TAG goes in the HEAD of an
HTML document.
