the 2 attachments.asc are :

1. the sender's public key
2. the electronic signature of the message signed by the sender

the two permit you to verify that the message is sent by the sender (if you
already have and trust his key) and has not been modified en route.

If you don't have his key, you can use the first attachment to import into your
keyring.  Then whether or not you trust his signature is your decision.
