Yankee Clipper (YC3) is also a very helpful freeware clipboard manager, with a broad range of functionality http://www.intelexual.com/products/index.aspx. You can hide it, dock it, drag and drop from it -- and there are options that do and don't retain the formatting (text vs. Rich Text, for example). I often use this program in tandem with eCleaner (http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,6492-order,1-page,1-c,alldown loads/description.html) -- to clean up junk when copying from other formats (e.g., grabbing text from a PDF but not wanting the extra line endings).
HovText may still be the best tool for the clean text paste, but these others are great utilities if you have broader needs. Another nice thing about YC3, for instance, it has a much bigger history than just 10 items.
