Django 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'

I'm trying to create an simple inbox-message app but I keep encountering this error.

I know the error is pointing here

if Message.objects.filter(in_response_to=messages.in_response_to):
     m = messages.in_response_to.id

What I'm trying to convey is , If their is an object in messages.in_response_to . Do this . I don't know how to fix it , I spent hours trying , can someone help me please

error

You can do:

if messages.in_response_to :
    m = messages.in_response_to.id
    ...
else:
    ...
