AFAIK there is a keybinding in mutt that allows to extract a
PGP public key. In my help-menu for the index there is a line

^K          extract-keys           extract PGP public keys

Unfortunately if I use the required keys (ctrl + K) this keybinding
wont add the requested PGP-public-key to my ~/.pgp/pubring.pgp file. 

For Example the Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> mailed
by Russell Van Tassell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> about the subject:
Re: mime-weirdness. Russell used the PGP-Version: 2.6.2. Here I'm
using the PGP-Version 2.6.3i. 

In the mutt-pager is documented above the mail-body:

-----------------------> cut here <------------------------ -
[-- PGP output follows (current time: Sat Jul 17 01:33:14 1999) --]

Key matching expected Key ID CC8F2E11 not found in file
'/home/wieneman/.pgp/pubring.pgp'.

WARNING: Can't find the right public key-- can't check signature
integrity.

[-- End of PGP output --]

If I use the above keys to extract the needed PGP-public-key
it looks like the following:
-----------------------> cut here <------------------------ -

What's going wrong here?
Any hints out there?
