Try:
LC_CTYPE=ca_ES.ISO8859-15 more mail.test
It works for me, the accentuated chars show up in xterm... could you
dump the result of « env » to check your settings? BTW you can check
whether a given locale is available by looking at /usr/share/locale.
Also, when modifying login.conf, don't forget to logout completely from
X *and* console.
