I use a small utility called PopClip, I wouldn’t be without it (although it 
does have some issues with LC on occasions), but it does allow you to choose to 
paste plain text if you wish along with lots of other useful copy/paste 
options. Saves me from some frustration.

It’s available on the App store. More info from pilotmoon.com if that helps.
