Consider using Outlook's GetInspector() property. Assuming you have an auto-signature, assign a variable to capture the default body and then concatenate to your latter message:

library(RDCOMClient)

olMailItem = 0
OutApp <- COMCreate("Outlook.Application")
outMail <- OutApp$CreateItem(olMailItem)

outMail$GetInspector()
signature = outMail[["HTMLBody"]]

outMail[["Recipients"]]$Add("dest@dest.com")
outMail[["Subject"]] = "some subject"
outMail[["HTMLBody"]] = paste0('<p>some body', signature, '</p>')

outMail$Display()
outMail <- NULL
OutApp <- NULL
