That's correct.  See http://mailutils.org/manual/html_node/MIME.html for
a discussion on how the --content-type option affects the mail being
composed.

As a matter of fact, they are.  The above command produces this header
for the second part:

   Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1; name="HTML message"

mail -a "From: support1@rcdwealth.com" \
    "-E"set sendmail=\"sendmail:$HOME/bin/sendmail\"" \
    --alternative -s "Something here" \
    --content-type=text/html --content-name "HTML message" \
    -A html-file --content-name "Test message" \
    --content-type=text/plain ss@example.com < text-file
