How can I modify the send email layout ?

Hello,
I would like to add a button to the send email layout.The button will calll some code to call a web service.
How can I modify the form? I don't see any record types called "Email" and I looked under activities, events, etc..

You can't modify Send an Email page layout. It is curremtly on Idea Exchange:

You will have to create custom button and a visual force page to achieve your requirement.

Thanks. If I were to create a Visual page to send an email similar to the out of box page. Would the email shows up in the activity history just as if were send using the out of box page?

You can write a code to insert a task and mark as completed, sothat it will come up in Activity history.
