Export / (Migrate) Mail Rules to new computer

So i will be setting up a new SSD with my MBP on a clean install (no migration assistant etc) everything will be individually set up like before, however I'm trying to find out how to exactly get my many Mail Rules form my current install to the new one.
Instead of redoing each and every single one (I have quite a few) if there is a way to export the list somehow or transfer a preference i would greatly appreciate it.

thank you!

Mac OS X (10.6.4)

This may (or may not) help but I just had a problem with one machine and just took the entire user/library/mail folder and replaced it from another box and the rules where transferred that way. So there must be some file(s) in that directory that contains the rules. Perhaps someone here knows the exact file(s), but what I did certainly worked.
