`C-x d' or `C-x C-d'
`C-h a list directory' tells you about `C-x C-d' (`list-directory').
`C-h a directory' tells you about both (and more).

Or: `M-x dired-jump'.
If you (require 'dired-x), it will be bound to `C-x C-j'.

I tried that in Gnus (from the buffer displaying your message) and
I ended up in ~/.w3m - I get that not all buffers have files
associated with them, but perhaps this should be communicated
somehow instead of that kind of arbitrary (?) behaviour. Just a
thought.

Consider filing a bug report: `M-x report-emacs-bug'.
For a starter, the doc string of `dired-jump' says what happens if "in a file" or "in Dired", but not what happens otherwise.
Looking at the `dired-jump' code (from a recent 24 Dev snapshot), it seems that `default-directory' is used for the otherwise case. That should at least be documented.
