Newt's Cape will handle the standard application/x-newton-compatible-pkg
as well as a couple of other types, but it hasn't been setup to handle
application/x-newton-package (are you sure that's the one returned??)

if in fact that's the MIME type...
1) ask chuma.org to fix their MIME table -- this is preferable;
or
2) you can patch Newt's Cape to handle other MIME types for .pkg
(there's a newtlet that can do this:

(I think the comment about handling any MIME type containing newton and
ending with pkg is obsolete))
