Why doesn't Alpine's viewer command work within GNU screen and how can I fix it?

When I run the viewer command in alpine from within GNU screen it tells me "viewer command completed" but it doesn't actually bring up Lynx (or any other viewer). I even tried writing my own script that would just write the arguments out to a file and no dice. I tried piping the message to a file, and I get "Can't exec (script) no such file or directory" However, if I close out alpine, detach from screen, and then start alpine, I can use the viewer or pipe messsages just fine. So, what is the problem here and how can I fix it? ### Update 1: The value of TERM depends on what I login with - from Eterm on my laptop, TERM is Eterm outside of screen and screen inside. From Connect Bot it's screen attached or not. And here is my .screenrc $ cat .screenrc defscrollback 10000 caption always "%?%F%{-b bc}%:%{-b bb}%?%C|%D|%M %d|%H%?%F%{+u wb}%? %L=%-Lw%45>%{+b by}%n%f*%t%{-}%+Lw%-0<" shell bash bind j focus down bind k focus up bind t focus top bind b focus bottom screen -t 'system' screen -t 'alpine' screen -t 'programming' screen -t 'suppliments' screen -t 'ssh' screen -t 'webby' screen -t 'ipython' ipython screen -t 'mpg321' screen -t 'irssi' **Update 2:** Changing the term value didn't fix anything. I tried tmux for a while, and that actually worked, but I had some issues with it properly sizing based on what screen I was using (whatever the smallest dimension was). So now I'm using a somewhat strange hack - I run a tmux session inside my screen session and run alpine inside that tmux session. Viewing URLs works perfectly fine now, but obviously this is not the ideal situation, and I'd welcome any better fixes.
