Is there any way with iOS 7 to get the iDevice to recognize texts that come from the same contact and keep them in the same thread as such?

For example, say I have a contact named Jane Smith and I have her phone number and email address stored under her contact. If she were to text me from her phone number using iMessage I would have that thread with her. But then if she texted me from her email address on iMessage it starts a second thread. Is there any way to get the iDevice to recognize that it's the same person and keep the threads together?

(Yes I know Jane could link her phone number to iMessage. Let's just assume she can't for the sake of my question.)
