AutoFetch and font settings

I have notes with $AutoFetch set to true and $URLs pointing to DEVONthink URLs.

Those DEVONthink URLs resolve to plain text documents, which just happen to be in markdown format.

However, when Tinderbox pulls them in, they seem to inherit the plain text format from DEVONthink, and not the plain text defaults from Tinderbox.

I have to manually select the text in the notes, then pick Format→Style→Standard Size and Format→Style→Standard Font.

I’ve tried using the trick mentioned here of setting the prototype’s $AutoFetchCommand to $MyString=$Text; $Text=$MyString; to no avail; I even tried $MyString=$Text; $Text=$MyString; $TextFont=; $TextFontSize=; which was a blind guess, but also unsuccessful.

Is there an internal oversight in autofetching plain text documents, or some unexpected coercing happening between the two system? And is there a way I can programatically reset the text format, rather than clicking menus?

I’ll investigate.
