Thanks very much.  Timothy Luoma and Michael Seibel jumped right on the
problem and pointed me right at the cause.

I had not looked at /usr/local/lib/pine.conf.fixed--thinking "fixed"
meant "repaired".

On the machines where "pine" works, that file (....fixed) had a
line that pointed "smtp-server" (through a CNAME) to our mail machine.

On the machine where "pine" did not work, the "pine" wizard had entered a
line that pointed to the machine it was on.

I made it look like the others, and "pine" now seems to be its normal
useful self.

You folks may not be able to fully appreciate just how grateful I am.
