Using category colors to automatically generate emails?

[Msandy]

I am trying to set up my Outlook so that if I mark an email with a certain
colored category (red, green, orange, etc) it automatically send out a
specified email template. So if green='need additional info' and an email
came in where I needed additional info, I would tag it green and a template
would automatically send out. I played around with rules, but could not seem
to find one that functioned this way.
Thanks.

You'd need to use VBA to do something like this, unless you use Outlook
2010, then quick steps can be used for it.
