Joep, anytime you 'quarantine' a file it is placed in a quarantine
folder (same with clamav). BD's quarantine folder is located at:
/home/<user>/.local/share/BitDefender-scanner/quarantine
Nothing is done to the quarantined file, it is just moved out of the
originating program's path an placed there for safe keeping. You can
move the files back to Thunderbird.
