Does United Allow You to Skip One of Leg of Return Flight?

Does anyone happen to know if United will allow a person to skip the first leg of a return flight and still fly the next one?

I'm planning a trip to Chicago, and the return flight relates to my question.

Example:
To Chicago: IAH to ORD (non-stop)
Return: MSN to ORD to IAH

If I don't get on at MSN, will they let me fly from ORD to IAH? Thanks!

No, no -- bad idea and likely to lead to rest of itin being cancelled

No, otherwise everyone would do this all the time to avoid the high hub-based fares.
