AUCTeX was tested with Emacs 21 and XEmacs 21.4.15.  Older
versions may work but are unsupported.  Older versions of XEmacs
might possibly made to work by updating the `xemacs-base' package
through the XEmacs package system.  If you are looking for a
recommendation, it would appear that the smoothest working
platform on all operating systems at the current point of time
would be Emacs 22.1.  At the time of this writing, however, it has
not been released and is still under development.  The quality of
the development version is quite solid, so we recommend giving it
a try.  With a developer version, of course, you have to be
prepared to update in case you managed to get your snapshot at a
bad time.  The second best choice would be the latest released
Emacs 21.4.  However, Unicode support is less good, there is no
version for the popular GTK toolkit, and the native versions for
Windows and MacOS don't offer toolbar and preview-latex support.

Auctex FAQ. The last three lines are important.
