[Outlook] Create Task from outgoing email

I use a generic shell version of Outlook at work, but if I had to guess, it's probably the most current version. Currently, I send the message, then go back select the item I sent and click to create a task from attachment. Is there any way to do it in one process, that is, as the email is being created/sent the task, including category, follow up date, etc. is being set up? Thanks!
