What I trying to point out in my previous post is that I don't understand what I would "wait" for. Email notifications would tell me if I have received an email.

Just because you get notified that you (as in generic you) have an email, doesn't mean that you (still generic) will open said emails upon receipt - I and many friends just take the attitude, "I've got an email, catch it later" but if I (also generic) want a specific email from a specific person with a specific content then that is what siri is doing with the example of the specific question relating to the recipe because that would actually be of interest otherwise one can continue to get on with one's life without feeling a need to open every damn email that arrives... and that is the point that I was trying to make...
And everything is intended to be generic because I don't own any iPhone but friends do... personally I prefer my Android smartphone...
Oh yes, that doesn't automatically inform me of incoming mail because I don't use the email system, I prefer gmail and that (using Notifier) will inform on any platform that it is available on but I do not have any audible notification turned on, I'm quite capable of checking when I may be interested in whether I've received an email, the rest of the time I could care less as I hate being interrupted...
