Document issues with file extension



When we save a TIFF document in SP (this is 2007), and the document
name is e.g. "Invoice", and try to open the document, it pops a
message asking is I want to save the document! If I say yes, and save
it on disk first, then I believe it does open it (with Microsoft
Imaging Viewer), although next time when I point the browser to it,
asks again to save...

If I name the document "Invoice.tif", then it works fine, i.e. it
does not prompt for a save (note that save is not an option here, is
either save or cancel).

The document is saved in SharePoint by our client code using some
Remoting API to SharePoint.

So my question is, is there some other field in SharePoint that will
make it recognize the file type (the icon showed in the list is also a
generic icon for "Invoice", but a MS Imaging icon for
"Invoice.tif")? We'd like not to have the user enter an extension
(tif) for the document name.
