How to Migrate the Bugzilla Ticket Description into Request Tracker

Issue

My colleague and I have mostly completed the migration of our company
bugzilla database to request tracker.

The issue I am currently encountering is that although the tickets have
migrated across, the actual body content
of the ticket has not migrated across.

I have seen that the detail for a ticket should be held in the
attachments table.

I would really appreciate any advise that you can offer me.

Thanks,

Kwasi,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "Detail of the Ticket" 

(especially in terms of attachments), but in the RT wiki, I put the code
for a perl program we used to convert a legacy ticket system to RT using
API. Take a look, it might answer some of your questions. Hope this helps.
