That was unintentional: the mail server crashed and apparently sent
the just-started reply.
It is nothing to do with 'Autoloads'. What is most likely if that you
have saved a reference to a namespace such as 'distrMod' in your
.RData file. If that it is the case, when .RData is loaded it will
load the namespace, and any namespaces it imports (and so on
recursively).
Once distrMod's namespace is loaded, it can attach other packages, and
indeed it does:
loadNamespace("distrMod")
... lots of messages from those prolix authors ....
search()
[1] ".GlobalEnv" "package:RandVar"
[3] "package:distrEx" "package:actuar"
[5] "package:evd" "package:distr"
[7] "package:SweaveListingUtils" "package:sfsmisc"
[9] "package:startupmsg" "package:stats"
[11] "package:graphics" "package:grDevices"
[13] "package:utils" "package:datasets"
[15] "package:methods" "Autoloads"
[17] "package:base"
The only fix is to locate the object you saved with the reference to
distrMod and delete it. The only hint I can offer is that it is
likely to be a function with namespace:distrMod as its environment.
Note that it is not regarded as good form for loading a namepace to
attach a package, and should not be necessary.

I wanted to try out package distrMod, so I did
install.packages('distrMod')
library(distrMod)
and played around, saved and quit.
Now whenever I start up in this directory, I get distr and lots of other
stuff loaded and lots of messages.
How do I keep it from automatically loading, other than starting over in
another directory?
I read ?Startup, but I couldn't suss out where the autoloading was
occurring.
It probably has something to do with the "Autoloads" that shows up in my
search list, but
I don't know how to get it out.
If I start up in another directory, this behavior is avoided, so I don't
think it's in
any site files. In this session's R.home(), I have
$ cat .Rprofile
options(stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
so it's not in there.
