Whether responses should go into the same email depends on whether the
content is for one thread or different threads.  Personally, it is
confusing to discuss multiple threads in the same email.  Some sentences
may be ambiguous, and if there are multiple threads in the same email, how
does one know which thread it was refering to?  This is how flame wars
start.  People misinterpret the wording, and all hell breaks loose.

On the other hand, if I want to respond to multiple people on the same
thread, I tend to put it all in the same email.  It is easier for me to
compose the email and follow the thread.

This is just how I do things.
