$ echo foo | gpg -aer jerome - | gpg --list-only --list-packets
gpg: jerome: skipped: public key already present
:pubkey enc packet: version 3, algo 1, keyid 0000000000000000
        data: [2046 bits]
:encrypted data packet:
        length: 63
        mdc_method: 2

$ echo foo | gpg -aer jerome - | sed -e '1d;$d' | openssl base64 -d |
gpg --list-only --list-packets

gpg: jerome: skipped: public key already present
:pubkey enc packet: version 3, algo 1, keyid 0000000000000000
        data: [2048 bits]
:encrypted data packet:
        length: 63
        mdc_method: 2

So you should be fine if you just remove the first and last lines
("-----...") and base64-decode.
