Copy smart mailbox settings between Macs

$

Is it possible to move a specific smart mailbox criteria set from one Mac to another?  I know I can move ALL my smart mailboxes from one machine to another by copying

 

SmartMailboxes.plist

SmartMailboxes.plist.backup

VersionedSmartMailboxes.plist

VersionedSmartMailboxes.plist.backup

 

from the ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData folder

 

But that will replace all the smart mailboxes on the target machine with those of the source machine.

 

I want to copy some (or all) of the smart mailbox settings from the source to the target but preserve the more extensive set I have on the target – that is I want to add from source to target without loosing what already exists on the target.

 

Possible other than manually recreating each smart mailbox?

 

Exporting the smart mailbox is copying the messages, and that I don’t wish to do.

 

TIA
