====

during testing the notification script "notify_quarantined_recipients.py"
we successfully killed the whole thing by adding into the iredadmin-pro-settings a string with an extended-character like this:

NOTIFICATION_QUARANTINE_MAIL_SUBJECT = '[Hinweis] Es sind %(total)d emails in Quarantäne'

fails with:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "notify_quarantined_recipients.py", line 99, in <module>
    import settings
  File "/usr/share/apache2/iRedAdmin-Pro-SQL-2.7.0/tools/../settings.py", line 144
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file /usr/share/apache2/iRedAdmin-Pro-SQL-2.7.0/tools/../settings.py on line 144, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

please let me know where I could best declare encoding.

thx
