If it's not your newsreader then its your nntp server and out of your
hands!

If you want to see the current value of the variable, try `C-h v' with
point placed on the word.

But if Gnus hasn't been loaded then this particular variable is not
defined -- so it does not make sense to ask for its value.  The same
applies to other options that are only defined when a particular mode is
loaded.

How many more colors do you want to have, and what are they?

How many colors does a Mac terminal support, anyway?

In general, there are *.el files under lisp/term/ which have support 
specific to each type of terminal known to Emacs.  If the Mac terminal is 
similar to one of them, use it.  If it is sufficiently different from all 
of them, you could create a new file with Mac-specific support (in this 
case, please submit the results to the Emacs maintainers for inclusion in 
a future release).
