Dear Dr Katoh.

Thanks for your email - it's great to hear that you've been able to 
update the applet on the MAFFT serer. I also have to thank you for 
revealing this bug in Jalview's file parsing mechanism: the problem is 
that it misidentifies a file as RNAML if it encounters '<..>' in the 
first line (which is the case in your complex sequence name example).

We'll try and get a patch out as soon as possible. There are a couple of 
hurdles, however, so I can't promise it'll be fixed in the next couple 
of days. If you'd like to register on our bugtracker, you can hit the 
'watch' button on http://issues.jalview.org/browse/JAL-1694 to get 
notified when we make some progress.

Jim.
