I had the same problem, it's a difference between FreeBSD and Linux
(which Sympa is developed on) -- I just haven't had a chance to report
the bug yet.  You need to go into your /usr/share/locale directory and
create symlinks like so:

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   15 Jun 13 13:53 en_US -> en_US.ISO8859-1
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   15 Jun 13 13:53 fr_FR -> fr_FR.ISO8859-1
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   15 Jun 13 13:54 hu_HU -> hu_HU.ISO8859-2
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   15 Jun 13 13:54 it_IT -> it_IT.ISO8859-1

Linux has locale.aliases file for creating aliases for these things, but
as far as I can tell FreeBSD doesn't.  But I'm not an expert yet.
