Unfortunately it's a bit cleverer than that...according to
Symantec
<http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.h@mm.html>
it can get addresses from files with these extensions:
         mp8
         .exe
         .scr
         .pif
         .bat
         .txt
         .htm
         .html
         .wab
         .asp
         .doc
         .rtf
         .xls
         .jpg
         .cpp
         .pas
         .mpg
         .mpeg
         .bak
         .mp3
         .pdf

and it has its own SMTP engine so it can send mails directly from the
infected computer without any external help.
