Milage Earning Error?
Does anyone know why the CO booking tool calculates the following:
This makes no sense. The flight to IAH is 5013 miles and the flight from IAH to DEN is 876, so why are they quoting only 4824?
Does anybody know if I will actually earn the miles flown on this route?

Possibly worth it, depending on the amount of taxes. Splitting IAH-ANC into IAH-SEA, SEA-ANC only cost me ~$3. Oh, then you have to factor in the time getting someone at Continental to actually do it and do it right. So maybe you're right...that hassle there is almost certainly a deal breaker.
