There is no hook per se, but sendmail uses a function pointer to
call the funciton which sends your mail.  I sometimes send it
before I am ready (slip of the fingers or brain fart or whatever)
and added the ability to query myself if I really wanted to do it.
You could modify it to suit your needs.  Here is mine:

;;  modify behaviour of send-mail-function
(setq send-mail-function (function (lambda ()
				     (interactive)
				     (ding)
				     (if (y-or-n-p "Really send? ")
					 (sendmail-send-it)
				       (error "Send Aborted")))))

You could probably do it with:
;;  modify behaviour of send-mail-function to add ~/.signature
(setq send-mail-function (function (lambda ()
				     (interactive)
				     (mail-signature)
				     (sendmail-send-it))))

I even tried this code and it works!!!  Just put this code in
your .emacs file and you should be OK.  You could use the y/n
approach to ask if you wanted it appended, and then it could do
it automatically.  Now that you bring it up, I think I will in
fact add this code to my function.  Thanks for the idea
