Ruth,
There is no 'required' field of that nature in normal email. About
the only things required for email, is To: and From: addresses. But
you might be able to use the Subject field or put it right in the
body (each may have dis/advantages). It could even be the email
address (your archive, by project!). In IMail, the 'nobody' alias
could 'catch' project numbers (or users) that do not yet have an
address.
Where is the mail going, besides the archive? (Is email really the
solution?) With email, you can get some of the things you want, but
probably not all, certainly not some things you may require.
A special email client, (or modification of one whose source code is
available) could add other fields (X-Project?) to the header, which
some other code at a mailbox, looks for and 'sorts' the mail. But
you need a programmer for that.
The Web Messaging Templates, might be modified to add a Project
field [if this were really the BCC field, then you could have
mailbox names = project number!](it would have to check it, then
modify some other portion of the message, prior to sending the
email), but somehow, I don't think that is all you would need.
