Actually, it's a sciprt which can be piped to something like 'mailx'.

+
+A new version of The ACE ORB (TAO) has been released by the Disitributed
+Object Computing (DOC) Group at Washington University in St. Louis, and
+can be downloaded from the Internet.
+
+TAO is a freely-licensed CORBA 2.x-compliant ORB which uses IIOP 1.0 as
+its default inter-ORB communication protocol. TAO also sports the first
+(as far as we know) implementation of the OMG's Portable Object Adapter
+(POA) architecture!
+
+TAO has been ported to OS platforms including Windows NT 4.x using MSVC++,
+several versions of UNIX (e.g., Solaris 2.x, SGI IRIX 6.x, Linux, SCO,
+NetBSD, and FreeBSD), and Real-Time OS's (RTOSs) (e.g., VxWorks and
+Chorus). Ultimately, TAO will be ported to all OS platforms on which ACE
+runs. We have used TAO to interwork with other ORBs (e.g., Orbix, COOL,
+CORBAPlus, and VisiBroker), so we're confident that its IIOP implementation
+is robust and interoperable.
+
+The release may be obtained from
+ $URL
+
+It's version information is:
+$VERSION
+
+For information on installation and system requirements, please see
+TAO-INSTALL.html (or INSTALL) in the root directory of the unpacked tar
+file.
+
+Note that ACE is required to build TAO. Typically the most recent beta
+release is required--see the installation notes for more details. Other
+documentation is available in the 'docs/' directory (in HTML).
+
+Thanks for trying TAO!
