    Default Order confirmation emails to different admin users based on product category

    Hi,
    Using Zen Cart 1.3.8a with very little customisation (nothing significant to this question).
    Is it possible for Zen Cart to send order confirmation emails (copies of) from specific categories to specific people?
    i.e. in our store we have a Membership Packages category and a Regalia category, and I would like order emails sent to the specific person responsible for dispatching goods from each category.
    If not Zen Cart, does anyone know of a modification which will allow this?
    Regards,
    Allen

    Thanks for the reply, but I'm not a programmer/php whiz/SQL whiz so that would probably be beyond me.
    Thanks anyway. I'm surprised it's not be requested before though, seems like a fairly obvious requirement to me.
