I know what to escape the commas with, %2c , but I don't know how
you would rewrite the url within pine.

There are a few netscape wrappers that escape the url for you,
if you have gnome, try replacing the /usr/bin/netscape...
with gnome-moz-remote --newwin "_URL_"

Or you could probably write a quick netscape wrapper in perl to escape 
the commas.
