Well, if you'd asked me before you sent the email I would have advised you to keep the two debts separate in correspondence.
Always remember that anything you write (letter or email) has the potential to be disclosed in court, so bundling the two debts together in your email means a DJ who may see it in evidence would know that you have more than one debt which could colour his opinion of you. Annoyingly DJs sometimes see Defendants as "debt-avoiders" especially if they are made aware of others debts which are not directly related to the claim they are deciding.
You also say that Intrum haven't written to you about the £23k debt since January but have been chasing you for the smaller one. I don't know why that would be but if they had (temporarily) forgotten about the big one, your email has just reminded them.
I'm sure no harm has been done, but it's best not to combine these debts in correspondence from now on.
If you get a response to your latest email then post on your Diary before you reply.
(I've removed the account details from your post which could identify you.)
