I am aware of the Filter object however the unique identifier of my document is a field within the lucene document itself (messageid); and I am reluctant to access this field using the public API for every Hit as I fear it will have drastic performance implications.
Well... I don't see any way around that as you basically want to uniquely identify your messages based on their Message-ID.
That said, you don't need to do it during the search itself. You could simply perform your search as you do now and then create a set of unique messages while preserving Lucene Hits sort ordering for "relevance" purpose.
HTH.
