Reset to default 2Firstly extend WC_Email class to define the email header, subject, email template for content
secondly, add custom email class to the default WooCommerce email classes using woocommerce_email_classes filter, with trigger that calls terms
if ( has_term( 'Your Cat', 'product_cat', $item['product_id'] ) )
lastly, Create an email template to be used to generate email content for your custom email.
this answer to this question involves a lot of code, far too much for SO so you may want to do some reading like.

Whatever plugin you're using for ecommerce, there should be an email hook available to customize the emails.
For example, WooCommerce provides 9 different hooks in its "new order" email. Here's a visual reference.
Add a function that runs on the desired hook, and you can add conditional content. You'll have to find a way to identify "any product from a particular category" - pull order details, loop through the products, and if any of them is from that category, trigger your conditional content.
