unsendable

Blocked from sending

Unsendable describes a message, letter, or communication that cannot or should not be sent.

The barrier may be technical—The file was too large and unsendable—or emotional: the angry email you write but never send, the love letter that would only make things worse.

Writing unsendable messages can be therapeutic, a way to express feelings without consequences.
