You can request an email with the itinerary and ticket number by using the request email receipt option on United.com, though.
Well, that doesn't really solve the problem as the email does NOT include the ticket number which is what you would want to show someone at United who claims you don't have a valid ticket. The PNR code is in that email but that's the same as the "We're processing..." email.
