One issue that I see arising is the interaction with emails between your system and other Johnny Decimal systems. Say I’m running a team at the company I work at and my team uses this system jointly. Another team also uses it. I email them with an email labeled with a decimal number, and suddenly their system has items out of order.

A good question. I have an idea for handling multiple projects in an overlapping environment, but it involves typing more characters of course which you’re not going to want to do every time. (The idea is to assign each project a 3-letter prefix. So 72.02 becomes PRJ.72.02.)
I’ll think on this.

I use MS outlook at work and you can actually open incoming emails, edit the subject line and save it, used this a few times as a quick way to tag my emails on what needs to be done with them, e.g.:
- [FOLLOW UP] Lorem ipsum dolor...
- [ASK MICHAEL] Lorem ipsum dolor...
- [INCLUDE IN PROPOSAL] Lorem ipsum dolor...
