It uses the WAB in addition to scanning the cache and various other files
for addresses, according to the analysis I read.

You can't do that through the 'send mail' API though; the virus would have
to open the message window, feed messages into its message pump to simulate
the user doing the save, editing that file as appropriate, and doing the
send.  Far easier just to talk SMTP.
