Post message that's short and sentimental (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

twee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sentimental' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'post message that's short' is the wordplay.
'post message' becomes 't' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'that's short' becomes 'wee' (I've seen this in other clues).
't'+'wee'='TWEE'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for twee that I've seen before include "Sentimental, quaint" , "Excessively cute" , "rather quaint" , "Overly cute" , "Excessively sweet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
