Fortunately, Mozilla Thunderbird remembers them, and when you start typing a name (or address), it is completed automatically. Still not ideal for adding 20 recipients to an email you forward — and you don't want to set up a group?
Mozilla Thunderbird has a trick up its toolbar for this situation, too: the Contacts sidebar. And if you're missing an Add to Bcc: button, turn to the context menu.
