X-Cart forums - Auto Generated Emails

After doing some pretty cool mods for order control in the orders.tpl and history_orders.tpl, I have added some order status selections to improve handleing between me and our warehouse.

What I would like to do is when I change the status to "W" Sent To Warehouse, I would like to set it up so it auto generates an email that is sent to our warehouse person notifing him there are new orders he need to ship just as when an order is placed "P" Processed or "C" Complete.

I does not have to be anything fancy, again, just a email to notify the person in the warehouse he needs to log on and process an order.

Here is my history_order.tpl
Code:
{* $Id: history_order.tpl,v 1.28.2.1 2003/08/26 11:11:49 svowl Exp $ *}

{ include file="location.tpl" last_location=$lng.lbl_your_orders}

{capture name=dialog}
