htaccess Rewrite dont pass querystring

Question

I have the following rules in my htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .+ redirect.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.(?!js|css|png)([^.]*)$ redirect.php [L]

everything works perfect except for one thing, the querystring.
for some reason the querystring disapper...

I got the following url myweb.com/subscribe?email=blablabla in redirect.php I have the following line:

echo $_GET['email']; //should echo the email

and it doesnt echo anything...
*I checked that it does rewrite to redirect.php

any Idea why and how to fix it?

Note you have 2 rules, use `QSA`, which _is_ the correct answer, in both. — Wrikken, Mar 10 '13 at 15:44
@Wrikken ofc, I did it in both and it didnt work.. I am not that idiot just a little bit — Ron, Mar 10 '13 at 16:08
Let's be clear, `QSA` (or Leonard's answer for that matter) works, so something else must be going on. More redirects somewhere maybe? You could make the redirects temporarily external (`[R]`) to check in the network log of your browser what & how things are happening. — Wrikken, Mar 10 '13 at 16:27
Using [R] cause the web to redirect to redirect.php?email=blablabla as it should and it echo the email. Why without the R flag it doesnt work? — Ron, Mar 10 '13 at 16:34
Ok I investigated it a little more and the problem seem to be with RewriteRule ^(.*)\.(?!js|css|png)([^.]*)$ redirect.php [QSA,L] — Ron, Mar 10 '13 at 16:40

Solved it by the following steps:

I didnt want to rewrite css, js, png etc.. files so in my last rule it was included in the regex - I splitted it.
Added [QSA] flag to 2 last rules
Added RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
Changed RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d to RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d.

this is how it looks:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule \.(ico|css|png|js|txt|xml)$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .+ redirect.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ redirect.php [QSA,L]
