Well, it was almost in text. ;) 

It had a text/plain part, but it was in "iso-8859-1" character set. 
Newer exchanges do this. Not sure how to make it send them in a more
normal one.

I have the same card in my laptop... 

Does it work if you don't use DRI?
If so, try the drivers on this page:

The default radeon module can't handle coming back right from a sleep
when DRI has run. These modules work fine for that.
