Yes.  The reference is to posting character codes
other than  the  printable ones 32 to 128,
especially the control codes below 32,
as they can give news-servers indigestion.
If it has nonprintable bytes in, then UUencode it.
HTNL gives no problems as it's plain ascii.

Some people also moan about uuencodes or html
being a nuissance in text discusions --- but I reckon
short chunks of Java are perfectly relevant here.
