Communication from a mile away (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

5

1-4

email

'communication' is the definition.
(I know that email is a type of electronic communication)

'a mile away' is the wordplay.
'away' is an anagram indicator (letters move away from their original places).
'a'+'mile'='amile'
'amile' is an anagram of 'EMAIL'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for email that I've seen before include "Digital message" , "Send one online" , "Electronic communication" , "Messages via the internet" , "Message sent via computer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
