Importing data into RT

All,

Where do the rt files with the actual message content live, and 

also, if I am going to import data from a completely unrelated help
application into RT what is the best way to accomplish this? Should I
write directyly into the database and the files, or should I email them
all into the system after they have been parsed and managed?

	Sincerely,
