All I could find outside of your reference:
R.H. Deng and L. Gong and A.A. Lazar and W. Wang, "Practical Protocols for
Certified Electronic Mail" . Journal of Network and Systems Management,
4(3):279--297, 1996.
http://java.sun.com/people/gong/papers/certified-email.ps.gz
was
Certified Email with Low Cost, Low Liability and Low Congestion or
Simultaneous Electronic Transactions with "Hands-off" Trusted Parties by
Silvio Micali MIT
at a lecture given at MIT on March 6, 1998.
I have been unable to find any online references to this on the MIT site.
Below is the original posting to the Cypherpunks list:
I also found two other places that may have references:
http://www.criticalpath.net
http://www.certifiedemail.com/
Both these seem to be involved in commercial implementation of Certified
E-Mail but do not have any on-line papers available.
Hope this helps,

>>We present a VERY PRACTICAL protocol for Certified E-Mail. Our protocol:
>>1) Guarantees that the Recipient gets the Mail if and only if the Sender
>> gets the corresponding Receipt;
>>2) Provides Receipts that prove the exact content of the Mail; and
>>3) Makes limited use of a very weak form of a Trusted Party:
>> one that does not participate in a regular transaction, but,
>> if something is wrong, can still take a simple action to yield
>> a fair exchange of Mail and Receipt.
>>
>>In our talk we shall make elementary use of cryptography, and emphasize
>>instead the advantage and power of such "low-profile" trusted parties in
>>Internet Transactions. Such trust model guarantees low costs, low liability
>>and
>>low congestions, and preserves the distributed and ``democratic'' use of the
>>Internet in a variety of purely commercial applications.
