Send email - create a task? Any ideas?

Is there a way to create a task on an opportunity, automatically, when sending an email (template) from that opportunity.  Assuming would trigger off template or subject line?  I see solutions for creating email after task but this is the direction we need to take.

Example - send email to SFDC user about opportunity and additional info etc.  At same time, create a task for that user for them to be able to follow up on.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Harshit - Actually we made a minor turn on this requirement.  We will be creating the email through SDOCs creation.  I'll see if I can get it to work though and post back

And, the email being sent is orginating from another object different than opportunity.  Just need it to create the task on opprtunity.
