Umm ... there's nothing in the lines you show there from which I can make
any guess about how many ham or spam you trained on.  Brian showed more
information than that, in particular he showed a line for a word that had
appeared in ham but in no spam.  From *that* I can deduce the ratio of
ham/spam trained on, although how to do so is far from obvious.
