New Siri sendmail issue

I decided to test the new Siri today, thinking it would make life easier. It's had the opposite effect. 

After asking it to open my email, I found a non-responsive button in the interface. I decided to go into the app manually to test the "draft a reply" feature. I selected an email, brought it into focus, and asked Siri to draft a reply. Instead of drafting a response, Siri sent an old, poorly worded email I had left in my drafts weeks ago!

The experience was a disaster. I had no idea Siri even had the capability to send emails automatically. To make matters worse, the "unsend" button is practically invisible—it's tucked at the bottom of a list that is constantly obscured by my many subfolders. By the time I found a YouTube video explaining where the undo button is, the damage was done. 

I’ve spent far too much time today writing apologies to my son's exams officer because of this. Siri needs a serious overhaul: it needs to stop misinterpreting "draft" as "send" and, most importantly, it must ask for confirmation before sending anything.
