Uhm, the code seems to have always been there, sorry.  So maybe the
PGG snarf issue only was that there isn't a menubar entry for snarfing
keys? But it is already simple to support key snarfing, isn't it?
Simply add a .mailcap entry for application/pgp-keys.

Maybe we can give users some help in discovering this; I have added
the following text to the Security node in the Summary Buffer chapter:

,----
|    Snarfing OpenPGP keys (i.e., importing keys from articles into your
| key ring) is not supported explicitly through a menu item or command,
| rather Gnus do detect and label keys as `application/pgp-keys',
| allowing you to specify whatever action you think is appropriate
| through the usual MIME infrastructure.  You can use a `~/.mailcap'
| entry (see *note mailcap: (emacs-mime)mailcap.) such as the following
| to import keys using GNU Privacy Guard when you click on the MIME
| button (see *note Using MIME::).
| 
|   application/pgp-keys; gpg --import --interactive --verbose; needsterminal
`----

I think this closes the snarf key issue with PGG vs Mailcrypt.  If
other Mailcrypt features can be worked around easily, that people find
useful, adding text to that effect in the manual is probably useful.

Test key:
