[Alpine-info] How to open links without being questioned

I used to be able to open links in Alpine e-mail messages
by just clicking the link, and it would open in a separate
web browser window.

I have lost that, perhaps because of MS Exchange, or (hopefully)
by activating something undesirable in the Alpine config,
something that can be deactivated again.

What happens now is that I am subjected to an endless series
of questions when I try to open a link. Questions like this:

play.google.com cookie: =519=BRh57qBWIOBfFb_e-uyXHDjfWtf9RCToqqRi
Allow? (Y/N/Always/neVer)

I've tried to reply Yes and Always to such questions, and then
I get the next question, repeat the answer, and a few questions
later the circle seems to restart from the beginning again.

How can I prevent this from happening, and get back to the
situation where links just open?

I've tried to look at config settings about "links", "URL" and
the like without finding anything.
