[0]send-pr sometimes after you have written your bug report and exit the
[0]editor, will say
[0]
[0]send-pr: Aborting...
[0]
[0]and deletes your bug report without sending it.  Enormously irritating!

I agree!
You can cause this if you hit <CTRL><C> at any point while in VI writing
the problem report.  When you exit after carefully constructing the problem
reports, send-pr immediately aborts and the tmp file is erased.   It used
to be the case that you could press <ESCAPE> or <S> *prior* to vi
completely exiting and cause it to abort, although this is much harder to do.

I suggest the code be modified to at least keep the prepared bug
file around somewhere like it does if you do select "A" for Abort.
It certainly should disregard signals sent to children like <CTRL><C>.
