This is unnecessary, it already saves a copy of the report when you
abort (see sendbug(1)):

     Once the PR is filled out, the user exits the editor and is presented
     with a choice: a)bort, e)dit, or s)end.  If abort is selected, the report
     is not deleted and the pathname of the report is printed.  If edit is se-
     lected, the user is given a chance to re-edit the report.
