The suffix you need is aol.com  America Online (and PCLink and Promenade) 
allows blanks in users names.  The blanks need to be dropped and you should
also make the user name (aka screen name) lower case.  So if you know somebody
with the screen name 'A User' you would send the mail to auser@aol.com.

To send internet mail from America Online you simply put the normal internet
address in the To: field on the mail form (or hit the reply button).
