TextEdit save as .txt?

Maybe I'm missing something, but is there any way to have TextEdit save a document as a .txt by default? It's rather annoying to have to rename the extension from .rtf to .txt every time.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

TextEdit->Preferences->New Document->select Plain Text. Works like that in SL and, AFAIK, in Lion.
