Order confirmation to different email address for certain categories?

We have a zen cart store set up, but was wondering if it was possible to set up so that when customers order from a certain category that it sends the order confirmation to a different email address?

All other orders from other categories go to the usual store address, but for this particular category we would like to have a different address.

This is because a different person will be handling and processing orders from that category.

Is this possible and if so, how?

Hope this all makes sense and I ahve explained myself properly.

How will you handle an order that includes items from both types of categories??

If this other person is inhouse you can set multiple email addresses seperated with a comma as stated in the admin

Send Copy of Admin Orders Status Emails To
Send copy of Admin Orders Status emails to the following email addresses, in this format: Name 1 email@address1, Name 2 email@address2
This other person should be able to decide which are theirs or not

Thanks, but the other person isn't in-house and so we don't want him to receive emailed order confirmation from other products and categories, just the category that we have allocated him to.

I can create a new email address for this individual category we've created and then get it to forward to both the site owner as normal and also this different person I've mentioned above.

But you have already stated you don't want other categories sent - -

So how do you plan to segregate a combination order?

I am trying to impress that this is much more difficult programatically
