With using PINE outside XWindows, I understood that a text-based web 
browser has to be used; and that it is easy enough to set up the default 
browser for Netscape or whatever, but that works for GUI browsers, only 
when PINE is run within an xterm session, from my understanding; in 
other words, running PINE from a terminal or console session (I 
wouldn't mind knowing the correct term for it), from my understanding, 
will not open a browser window in a running XWindows session.
