if this is just about extracting the keys from the messages,
well, mutt has a command for this:  extract-keys (CTRL-K)

  Help for index                              -- (30%)
  ^K   extract-keys   extract PGP public keys

but if this is about copying a message to a file
then please use the command copy-message ('C'):

  Help for index                              -- (65%)
  C    copy-message   copy a message to a file/mailbox

however, there is no command which saves only the body
messages.  but there are simple workarounds for that:
either save the whole message and edit the resulting files.
or pipe the message to a script which filter the header away.

let us know what you need.
