I'm a newbie…and am looking for direction to create a mail merge button and add it to the task page. I understand how to create a button and add to the page but need some help in creating the code behind to open the mail merge template and use the existing data from the current open task. Any help would be appreciated.

Inspect the input fields and buttons on the emailAuthor.jsp page and experiment with the URL parameters.
From what I remember:
Fields:
Buttons:
Construct an URL, use the merge fields syntax to pull data from "this" Task...
Now at the very least you know what keywords to Google for ;)
send email button from custom object
Sending email with javascript on custom button
