You can always override the file extension when you save the file if it isn't the correct file extension.
See also:

You can try to inspect the MIME database with the registry editor (regedit.exe) and do a search for that MIME type (file extension) via Ctrl+F.
Be careful with editing the registry as there is no Undo possible: all changes are applied immediately. You can export key(s) before making changes.

MIME Database : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type

It is best not to go to the registry if you are not familiar with editing the registry and keep it with adding the correct file extension.
