As already mentioned, adding several KB of GPG key to the body of each
of your messages would be very impolite, and it might get you flagged as
a spammer.

A possible alternative is Autocrypt (https://autocrypt.org/) which uses
the message header, but the most bandwidth-friendly method is still a
URL pointing to your self-hosted key material. Also there are publicly
available key servers like http://pgp.mit.edu , with their own pros and
cons.
