Adding OpenPGP public keys from a message

OpenPGP public keys can be distributed in plain ASCII text and it is therefore possible to embed public key blocks in an e-mail message. Below is an example of a message with embedded public keys.

Hello John,

This is my public key:

-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

Version: 2.6.3i
