Mail is still an option. I just set up a voucher ticket about 4 hours ago and mailed in the voucher. I've done this 4 times in the past year and it works like a charm. Just be sure to photocopy the voucher before you send it in case something happens.

True! You just need to tell the CSR that its DBC voucher ticket and they should waive the fees. If they don't, hang up and try again.

The other stipulation with mail-in is that you have to have the letter postmarked by the day after you speak with the CSR to set up the ticketing. IME its never been a problem (I've always mailed the voucher quickly). IME UA will ticket the reservation in about 10 to 14 days.
My usual method is to set up the reservation on line and put a hold on it. That way I get exactly the flights and seats that I'd like. Then I simply call UA, give them the record locator and mail the voucher.
