I have noticed this for some time. I have had debugging turned on in my emacs for quite a while
(for other reasons). Every time (maybe after the first) that I send mail with ^C-^C, I get the
following traceback (I have also been running VM from the .el files for a while):
Signalling: (error "Selecting deleted buffer")
set-buffer(#<killed buffer>)
(save-excursion ...)
kill-buffer(#<killed buffer>)
mapcar(kill-buffer (#<killed buffer> #<killed buffer> #<killed buffer> #<killed buffer>))
(let ...)
(if ...)
(save-excursion ...)
(let ...)
vm-mail-send-and-exit(nil)
* call-interactively(vm-mail-send-and-exit)
The number of #<killed buffer>'s in the mapcar grows (maybe each time I send another message, I
haven't checked). I looked at the code, but it wasn't obvious what was wrong (this is VM 5.26).
It has always sent the mail, so I have treated it as fairly low priority. Let me know if there
is any more useful information I can get, since it is easily reproducible (and seemingly benign
for me).
