[PATCH] mailinfo.c: move side-effects outside of assert

Since 6b4b013f18 (mailinfo: handle in-body header continuations, 2016-09-20, v2.11.0) mailinfo.c has contained new code with an assert of the form:

	assert(call_a_function(...))

The function in question, check_header, has side effects. This means that when NDEBUG is defined during a release build the function call is omitted entirely, the side effects do not take place and tests (fortunately) start failing.

Move the function call outside of the assert and assert on the result of the function call instead so that the code still works properly in a release build and passes the tests.
