Tune man heard is in the post (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

airmail

'the post' is the definition.
(airmail is a kind of post)

'tune man heard' is the wordplay.
'tune' becomes 'air' (air can mean a piece of music).
'man' becomes 'male'.
'heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'male' sounds like 'mail'.
'air'+'mail'='AIRMAIL'

'is in' is the link.

(Other definitions for airmail that I've seen before include "Letters taken by plane" , "overseas post?" , "It's marked "par avion"" , "Flying service" , "post far away" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
