BCC - Not hiding other emails....

In the works of Ai agents that are apparently automating everything (which I absolutely dispise) why is Thunderbird forcing me to send one email at a time so as to not show other recipients who I am also emailing.. I do not have the time for this. I also don't want to invest time into a mail merge set up like Chimp or Octopus. I just want to email 30+ people without the others seeing each other. But when I have tested with thunderbird with one customer email and my own as BCC - when I get the email in my inbox it literaly says - FROM: MY BUSINESS. - TO: MY CUSTOMER.. (yes my customers email address - not mine).. What is going on here?? I can not spend 45 minutes sending the same email... using copy and paste etc..

You saw the customer name because you blind-copied yourself on the message to that person, Those on the BCC list will see the message as it was sent to the original recipient. You could send BCC to recipients and in the TO, just leave it blank. Thunderbird will display 'unknown recipients'. You can confirm this by sending a BCC messages to yourself and omit the TO field.
