I am guessing that the wording of the email caused an entry into your phone's calandar. Since you do not use your phone's calandar, you do not see this happening. Siri is simply reminding you of an upcoming event that is on your calandar. You can turn these functions off through your phones settings. I have them off because I find them annoying.

I believe that SIRI reads all emails, contacts, and anything in your cellphone and anything that your cellphone can access. If you access an app, say a bank account, you need to enter a password to get into the account. SIRI monitors all that you do, and "reads" the password into it's memory, and also sees what you see on your screen.
It may take no action on this activity, but compiles the information and does what it wants, like saving it or selling the statistical accumulation of your, and everyone else's information.
I also believe that someday the population will wake up and find all their electronic information has been hacked, hijacked, and unavailable for the owner to access and use.

I told him that the third parties that own the apps have access to everything on your I-Phone when you use them. The "third parties" can access and read your emails, check your bank accounts, all your contacts and even get their email addresses and phone numbers from your cellphone.
An hour ago I got a notification from "Siri" saying that there was a game on Wednesday, Oct 13 at 6pm and lasting until around 8p.m.
Coincidentally, I did get an email from a friend saying that he would be at the rec center at 6pm if anyone wanted to play cards.
So, "Siri" DOES READ YOUR EMAIL......and even though Siri is available on my Iphone, I have never activated or used it.
I don't trust technology. Maybe I should throw away my cellphone.

This week, Apple confirmed a new privacy blow when it delayed a major iOS 14 anti-tracking feature after pushback from Facebook and others. Here’s what that means. What Apple’s Disappointing iOS 14 Feature Delay Means For iPhone Privacy

Another subject that is arm chair over intellectualized! IMHO.

You know when crime committed first thing the look at is cell phone if the perk has one. All information is stored on cell phone where it on or off. When you pass tower it’s recorded, when you go out of area to another tower it’s recorded. Yes, good tool for crime fighting, but there not the only ones that can gather the information.
