CRJ Anti-ice/De-ice

I was looking at the information on the CRJ-100/200 on SmartCockpit and in the section on icing protection, it does not mention the empennage. Is there any kind of ice protection on the empennage? Is the jet exhaust enough to keep it clear of contamination in flight?

The CRJ does not have any anti-ice on the tail section, only cowl and wing anti ice. I think the 737 and other models are similar in that they only have wing and cowl as well, could be wrong on that one though.

Glad their engineering math worked out on that...
