Since I regularly convert many of my emails into tasks, is there a way to create a rule that will automatically convert emails with a specific subject line, into a task?

Here you go - add it to the VBA editor and create a rule to run a script.

Updated: fixed it so the message body is added to the task

Sub ConvertMailtoTask(Item As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim strTaskName As String
strTaskName = Item.Subject

Dim objTask As Outlook.TaskItem
Set objTask = Application.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
objTask.Subject = strTaskName
objTask.StartDate = Item.ReceivedTime
objTask.Body = Item.Body
objTask.Save
Set objTask = Nothing

End Sub
