MULE is only supported in native Windows builds in the development
series, version 21.5.

You could try out

Greetings -

I have just posted to ftp.xemacs.org a new windows native setup kit
for XEmacs 21.5.  The kit is available at

ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/windows/testing/XEmacs Setup 21.5-b25.exe

This kit is a test version based on the current contents of the XEmacs
21.5 source tree as it currently exists in CVS.  The kit includes a
significant number of packages and allows the user to choose among them.

Here are the contents of the ReadME-21.5-b25 file:

						March 14, 2006

Thank you for downloading and installing this setup kit for
XEmacs 21.5-b25.

XEmacs-21.5 is software under development.  Please do not use this
software unless you are prepared to experience and report bugs.  The
21.4 releases of XEmacs are more stable and are better suited to the
less adventurous in the user population.

This setup kit can be installed alongside a 21.4 installation; by
default the 2 setup kits will install to %Program Files%\XEmacs and
they will share packages.  One significant difference between the two
kits is that the 21.5 kit supports MULE.  (Refer to
http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/21.5/html/xemacs-faq.html#SEC65
for more details on MULE.)

This setup kit includes the following packages which are optionally
installed: auctex, bbdb, c-support, calc, cc-mode, debug, dired, ecb,
ecrypto, edebug, ediff, edit-utils, efs, eieio, elib, emerge, eshell,
footnote, fortran-modes, fsf-compat, gnus, hm--html-menus, ibuffer,
igrep, ispell, jde, latin-euro-standards, latin-unity, locale, lookup,
mail-lib, mailcrypt, mh-e, mmm-mode, mule-base, net-utils, os-utils,
pc, pcl-cvs, pcomplete, perl-modes, prog-modes, ps-print, psgml,
psgml-dtds, python-modes, re-builder, reftex, ruby-modes, sasl,
scheme, semantic, sgml, sh-script, sieve, sounds-wav, speedbar,
supercite, texinfo, text-modes, textools, time, tramp, vc, vc-cc,
vhdl, viper, vm, w3, x-symbol, xemacs-base, xemacs-devel, xetla,
xslide, and xslt-process.

Refer to the XEmacs Quickstart Package Guide - 
http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html#Installing_automatically
- for information on installing further XEmacs packages to extend the editor's
functionality.

This kit was built with Inno Setup, see http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
for details on Inno Setup.

but you should really subscribe to xemacs-beta in that case.

See

and the relevant archive at
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200603/
(which does not have above article just yet).

You may also get help on irc://irc.freenode.net/xemacs (irc channel
#xemacs on irc.freenode.net).

Hope this helps,
