Stephan,
You need to quote the argument to "echo", otherwise the whitespace
is collapsed by the shell.
For example:
echo "$(echo -e "1\n2\n3")"

It actually only strips the trailing newline. Any newlines in the middle
of the file are fine.
That's not what i'm seeing:
[stephan@host:~]$ echo -e "1\n2\n3"
1
2
3
[stephan@host:~]$ echo $(echo -e "1\n2\n3")
1 2 3
