MSY-SFO-LAX on a through flight. I intend to fly only MSY-SFO. Would I still get miles for MSY-SFO? MSY-SFO is actually longer than MSY-LAX. There's a change of aircraft, but I believe UA probably issues one coupon for the through flight.
Not sure how many segments are on the OP's PNR?

If two segments, then, yes, will get the MSY-SFO credit.
If one single segment on the PNR, then, most likely not. YMMV.
