That is true, of course.

This will instead output (return) the content, just grabbed the code
from my CompleteRSS plugin:

<?php

function NST_get_the_content()
{
    global $post;
    // Password checking copied from get_the_content()
    if ( !empty( $post->post_password ) )
	if ( stripslashes( $_COOKIE['wp-postpass_'.COOKIEHASH] ) !=
$post->post_password )
	return get_the_password_form();
    return $post->post_content;
}

function NST_return_content()
{
    $content = NST_get_the_content();
    $content = apply_filters( 'the_content', $content );

    $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]&gt;', $content);
    return $content;
}

?>
