Re: strange problem when closing WL folder

I've seen this too. What apparently happens is that when you do random
things in WL, and a new buffer needs to be created (e.g., when you
visit a folder for the first time), the buffer apparently starts off
being associated with whatever directory you happen to be in at the
time. If you were just accessing a file on a USB mounted file, your
default directory will be on the mounted file system. Later, when the
file system is no longer accessible, WL doesn't like that.

You can get around the problem by simplying changing the directory to
something that is accessible. E.g, from the summary folder buffer
giving you problems, just do an emacs "cd" and pick (say) your home
directory.

This is one of those things that is mildly annoying, but not annoying
enough to actually go fix permanently...
