The IE7 option of unchecking the box in tools/content/settings is no longer working for me, weirdly enough.
Does anyone have any other ideas how I can see the unformatted XML in either IE, FF3, or Chrome? (It seems like there must be a FF plugin, but can't seem to find one)

View source?
Ctrl+U in Firefox

Have you tried viewing the page source?

If view source doesn't do the trick for you, you could install the Fiddler plugin for IE and see the full request / response as raw data. It's a very handy tool- most web developers should install it.

Well, its not perfect, but much better. Fiddler still doesn't show me the truly raw xml - like View Source, it is converting the <> into >, etc. However, the XML tab did allow me to to see all of the nodes in the xml feed which is what I needed, since most of the nodes don't show up in the formatted version. So...Thanks!

Most of Fiddler's inspectors show you exactly the bytes flowing across the wire. If you see >, that's because that's what's flowing across the wire. The "XML" inspector will do XML-entity decoding. – None – 2009-08-03T15:03:27.473
@ericgr: I suspect you're talking about HTML embedded within the RSS. But, that's how RSS works - unlike Atom (which supports namespaced XHTML directly) HTML markup has to be encoded. – Shog9 – 2009-08-04T00:30:53.580

You could use the Firebug Plugin for FireFox, it will show you everything you ever wanted to know about a document, right down to the POST and GETs and network traffic..
