Send additional order confirmation email help

[imageriot]

Hi guys, I need to be able to send an additional email out to a distributor whenever I get a new order, I know this can be done in admin but that sends a duplicate of the regular email confirmation.

The distributor requires the email to contain no headers and it must be laid out like below to be processed by their automated service. Previously we have copied and pasted the information from the zen email or admin and sent it manually but this is becoming very time consuming as the popularity of the store grows.

Quantity | Pack size* | Order Code | Description | Price

(*this is a custom field we added to zen cart previously)

I know how to send out headerless emails using php, but I am not good enough with php to fully understand the amazing code of zen-cart yet.

here are my questions...

Do I need to define my email script somewhere inside orders.php(after backing up of course!)

would it be easier to modify the "SMS on Sale" module to send email rather than SMS, tthis way I would be modding a module and not core files.

Is there a mod out there that does something like this that I have missed I ve made countless searches?

All help and suggestions welcome.
