[snip..]

There's your answer as to why Bayes isn't scoring for you.
Bayes will only kick in after you have learned 200 spam AND
200 ham messages.

You've already fed it bunches of spam but how many explict
ham messages have you fed it?

Feed it a couple hundred ham messages (but not from this list ;)
and all should be well.
