Moral Question: Is it right to traking people email online

[Myles A. Braithwaite]

While yes and no. I want to do is similar to a Mailing List so that 
anyone in my Company will be able to see emails sent and received said 
client. Yet the client will never know that this is happening unlike 
this Mailing List where the users have full knowledge that they are 
sending an email to multiple people and that it will be archive. My 
Question is if it is moral to do this behind my clients back or should I 
force my users to do this manually or add an email signature saying 
"This email will be shared with group"?
