The URL viewer is taken from .mailcap. When set properly, it works (at least here it works with Ubuntu 8.04.1, so it's not an alpine issue).
OK, good; but you're over my head. I don't find anything named .mailcap on my machine. Neither does my search function.
Since I've been running Pine for years, I have a .pinerc rather than an .alpinerc; but I don't find anything like what you say there, either.
You can create it in your home account.
nano -w ~/.mailcap
then put the long line there, and see what happens.
I did, and it didn't; but I may have the long line wrong, since it's formatted into two here. I tried it (on my own machine here, not the remote one yet) both with and without a space between the backslash and "test=test" (having done c&p on the two pieces). Are there really supposed to be two spaces between the last semicolon and "nametemplate"?
The backslash doesn't go in the line. It's a convention to mark a single line when split in two. The .mailcap should go in the same machine where alpine runs. -- Cheers Jorge.-
