ok, guys, i found it. thanks for the help.
i was trying a bunch of stuff in my ~/.mailcap, but didn't realize
there's a global /etc/mailcap. in that, i found this line:
i tried changing it, but that didn't work, so i just commented the
stupid thing out & boom, we're back to normal. i have no clue what
happened, but it's nice to be able to use lynx again from pine.

Probably related to this:
debianutils (2.30) unstable; urgency=low
* Raise sensible-browser's mime priority to 6. closes: #466517.

I bet that setting your BROWSER environment variable would have worked
as well, although I'm still a little perplexed as to why changing the
www-browser alternative did nothing.

This solution is only temporary work around. If update-mime program is
run by installer, it may be overwritten. If you want to use partilcular
program to handle HTML mime type, then you should read mailcap.order man
page and set that file and run update-mime. This is better work around
system wide. I think you can set HTML MIME handler in ~/.mailcap too.
The real root cause fix is to get sensible-browser working.
It is simple shell script. You can see it
$ view $(which sensible-browser)

you're right, i fixed it the lazy (& potentially temporary)
way. the weird thing is, though, that my local .mailcap didn't override
it. & i tried changing sensible-browser, which also didn't do anything.
so i'm at a bit of a loss as to how to make a permanent fix here...

How did you overide with your local .mailcap?
What program was (or which mailcap entry was) used when it was working?
Did you put that working mail cap entry into .mailcap?
Osamu who never bothered to use .mailcap.

OA> How did you overide with your local .mailcap?
by adding this to ~/.mailcap:
text/html; /usr/bin/lynx %s
which follows the format of everything else in there. but, uh, it
didn't override. & /etc/mailcap has SEVERAL text/html entries. soo...?
OA> What program was (or which mailcap entry was) used when it was working?
lynx, originally. it's back to lynx when i comment the
/etc/mailcap line in question.
OA> Did you put that working mail cap entry into .mailcap?
i don't understand this question. i didn't change anything in
/etc/mailcap except commenting the sensible-browser line.
