The first one is indeed the public key, the second one most likely is
the signature for the email using PGP/MIME. If you have PGP-supported
email client (like Claws) or the email client have a PGP pluging (like
Thunderbird+Enigmail) it should be able to verify it. Otherwise, it
looks like a normal message (or empty if PGP/MIME encrypted) with a
signature.asc file (sometimes called differently) as an attachment.
