File types for new files

Using Gvim under Gentoo Linux, if I open a file with a .txt extension, Gvim
sets the filetype to text and sets the appropriate word wrap, etc. that I have
configured. But if I open Gvim, create a new buffer with :tabnew and then save
that as a file with a .txt extension, Gvim doesn't set the filetype and I have
to explicitly set it in order to get the word wrap and other file settings I
have configured. Is there a setting I'm missing to have Gvim automatically
recognize the file type when the file is named and saved, or is that not
possible absent some scripting?
